About me
Are you or your child finding it difficult to cope with life’s challenges? At times, we can all face situations that affect our mental health; a difficult childhood, trauma, a relationship breakdown, or other unexpected events. You or your child may be experiencing thoughts or behaviours that cause confusion, distress, or harm. Experiences such as bullying, feeling out of place, or struggling with social and cultural expectations can have a profound impact on wellbeing, sometimes leading to anxiety, low mood, or other mental health difficulties.
I am an accredited therapist with over ten years’ experience in supporting both children and adults. I use a blend of humanistic and evidence-based approaches to help with a wide range of mental health concerns, from common challenges to more complex issues. Accreditation means I have met a recognised standard of professional knowledge, experience, and ethical practice.
Alongside my counselling training, I am also qualified in CBT for those seeking a structured, goal-focused approach to address specific concerns such as anxiety, depression, or OCD. I am an eating disorder specialist with extensive training and experience in treating conditions including anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, and binge eating disorder. If you are seeking support for an eating disorder, it is important to work with someone who has specialist expertise in this area.
Over the years, I have worked in a variety of settings including schools, the NHS, and private practice. I also deliver training on eating disorders to schools and foster care services. I believe that every individual is unique, and that no single approach works for everyone. For this reason, I value a flexible, collaborative, and creative approach, adapting my work to meet each person’s needs where appropriate.
Talking to a therapist can make a difference. It can help you understand yourself more deeply, recognise how your thoughts and behaviours affect you and those around you, and develop new coping strategies. We can work together on a short-term or long-term basis to create meaningful changes that align with your goals.
I understand that seeking help can feel daunting. My aim is to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you or your child can feel at ease. Together, we will work towards improved mental health, stronger relationships, and a better quality of life helping you build the confidence and tools to become fully self-supporting.

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.
