About me
Seeking support is not always straightforward, especially when you are used to managing on your own. You don’t need to explain everything perfectly or know exactly where to begin.
You may have something specific you want help with, or you may be finding it difficult to understand why you feel or react as you do. Perhaps you have been feeling anxious, low or overwhelmed, or have noticed patterns that keep returning despite your efforts to change them. To other people, you may appear to be coping. Privately, things may have become harder to manage.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and capable, but find that insight alone has not helped them move forward. They may not feel in crisis, but they feel stuck, disconnected, dissatisfied or unsure why they are no longer functioning as they would like.
Therapy can provide a place to examine what is happening, understand the factors contributing to it and consider what may help. You will not be expected to discuss anything before you feel ready, and you do not need to commit beyond what feels useful.
What might therapy look like?
You may want to understand something more fully, make a practical change, or both. We can use the initial sessions to clarify what has brought you to therapy, what you would like to be different and how the work will reflect that.
For some people, it is helpful to explore the experiences and patterns that have shaped how they think, feel and relate to others. For others, the immediate priority is finding practical ways to deal with a difficult situation or make changes in daily life. Often, the work involves both.
My way of working is collaborative and engaged. I will listen carefully, but I will also offer questions, reflections and psychological ideas where these may help us understand what is happening. We can decide together whether it would be more useful to explore things in depth, focus on practical strategies or move between the two.
My aim is to adapt the work to you rather than expect you to fit a particular model of therapy.
I offer primarily online sessions, along with a free initial consultation. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions, explain what has brought you to therapy and get a sense of whether working together feels right.
You’re welcome to get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am currently completing a Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology (DPsych) at London Metropolitan University, a doctoral-level programme combining rigorous academic training with supervised clinical practice. I receive regular clinical supervision and am committed to ongoing reflective practice throughout my work.
Across my training I have worked with people navigating a wide range of experiences low mood and loss of direction, anxiety and patterns of worry, relationship difficulties, grief and bereavement, workplace stress, and the emotional weight of significant life change. These experiences can shake how we see ourselves and the world, often bringing feelings of confusion, panic, or anger alongside a quiet sense that something needs to shift.
I have worked in school, bereavement, substance misuse, and private practice settings, and this breadth has shaped how I approach each person with the same focus regardless of what brings them: to meet the person rather than the problem, and to offer a steady, compassionate space where things can be explored at a pace that feels manageable.
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.

Additional information
I offer a free 30-minute consultation for us to get to know each other and see if it feels like a good fit.
I am aware that therapy is a financial commitment. As such, I also want to open space to discuss fees in session with the aim of finding something that works for you. Adjustments can include concession rates, sticking to a specific session limit (e.g. 6, 9 or 12 sessions), or discussing partial payment plans.
At this time, in person therapy sessions have a flat rate of £65 with a sliding scale fee from £50 - £65 available for online clients.
