About me
Starting counselling and finding the right therapist can be challenging. Taking the time to explore your options is an important first step.
Perhaps, without not knowing why, you are feeling anxious, low, stuck, confused or overwhelmed. Maybe you have noticed that you're caught in patterns you don't fully understand, finding it difficult to change or to make decisions, struggling with self-doubt, or carrying the weight of past experiences that still shape your life today.
You might have reached a stage where support is necessary, when the need for a space that can be truly yours, where you can speak openly, untangle your thoughts and feel seen and understood without feeling judged is required. A space where your feelings and experiences feel recognised rather than minimised.
I offer a space where you can slow down and explore, in a safe space, what is going on for you in your life and make sense of it.
I believe that often, the patterns that cause us the most pain and difficulties, have deep roots. Working together will offer us the space to explore what you are currently going through and those roots together, safely, gently, at your own pace, so that what you are experiencing can be understood at a deeper level rather than experienced as inexplicable and work together towards what change looks like for you.
I Can Support You With:
- Anxiety and stress
- Relationship difficulties and family issues
- Life Transitions, Low self-esteem and self-doubt
- Trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD
- Depression and low mood
- Intrusive Thoughts, OCD
- Spirituality, religious trauma, spiritual abuse,
and recovery from high-control groups or cults
How I Work
As an integrative psychodynamic counsellor, I view many present-day difficulties as rooted in earlier life experiences. A central part of my approach is supporting you to make sense of your experiences. Often, we carry ways of thinking, feeling, and relating that developed earlier in life, but may no longer serve us in the present. By exploring these patterns together, we can better understand what lies beneath current difficulties and create a clearer sense of meaning, understanding, and choice.
Our therapeutic work will be a collaborative and relational process. We will work together noticing how you are coping with your current issues, build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and, over time, build a stronger, kinder relationship with yourself and others and find helpful ways to cope with how you engage with your issues.

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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Support with Religious Trauma, Cult Recovery & Faith Deconstruction
Leaving a controlling belief system, or simply beginning to question it, takes real courage. But the aftermath can feel just as disorienting as the environment itself. You may find yourself struggling to trust your own thoughts, unsure of who you are outside of that group, or mourning the community and sense of meaning you once had, even as you know leaving was the right thing to do.
If you've experienced a high-control, coercive, or cultic environment, whether religious, spiritual, or otherwise, the impact can continue long after you've left. Many people find themselves feeling anxious, confused, or emotionally numb, carrying deep feelings of guilt, shame, or grief alongside a profound loss of identity.
These experiences can ripple into every area of life: relationships, self-confidence, decision-making, and your sense of safety in the world. Whether you're recovering from a cult, navigating faith deconstruction, processing spiritual abuse, or trying to rebuild your life after leaving a high-control group, you deserve support that truly understands what you've been through.
I offer a safe, calm, and trauma-informed space where we can explore your experiences gently and at your own pace. There is no pressure, no agenda, and no judgement, only careful, compassionate support as you begin to rebuild trust in yourself, reconnect with your own identity, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and freedom.
