About me
I work with individuals and couples who want a place where they can be understood quickly, think clearly about what’s happening, and make meaningful changes in their work and relationships.
My approach is friendly, down to earth, and research-informed. I work both online and face to face, and can offer counselling, psychotherapy, coaching, or a combination shaped by your unique needs rather than a fixed model.
I start from the perspective that people make sense. The ways we feel, behave, and relate, even when they cause difficulty, have meaning that can be understood in the context of our history and current circumstances. An important part of my work is exploring what that meaning is, and how it translates into real change in your life.
Many clients come with specific concerns including anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, betrayal or infidelity, imposter syndrome, anger, panic attacks, isolation, trauma, bereavement, or work-related difficulties. Others simply want space to understand themselves better, find meaning and purpose, or think through their life or career direction.
I work regularly with couples navigating relationship difficulties, including infidelity, disconnection, and communication breakdown. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Couples Therapy accredited by COSRT (College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists) and I am also trained in the Gottman Method.
I also regularly support senior professionals, executives, and business owners with the psychological challenges of their working lives — including burnout, high-functioning anxiety, leadership pressures, and the particular challenges that come with ADHD in professional settings.
I have worked with clients from a wide range of backgrounds: City professionals, medical professionals, entrepreneurs, actors and other creatives, paramedics, tradespeople, those between jobs, and everyone in between. What matters most is not background, but a willingness to reflect and engage honestly.
Before training as a therapist, I had a background as a senior leader and executive coach in the City. As a result, I often work with senior professionals, executives, business partners and couples who are often high-functioning but find themselves dealing with something that their usual approach cannot solve.
I am professional but down to earth. There will be times of serious reflection and times of lightness and humour. I am an active and engaged therapist — not a blank screen. I will listen carefully, and I will also share observations, challenges, and ideas that help you make sense of what is happening and move forward.
Next Steps: contact me by text, email, or phone. If you decide to move forward, we would arrange an initial consultation where we explore your situation and decide whether working together feels like the right fit.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
