About me
I see therapy as an invitation to slow down and listen, not just to your thoughts, but to your body. Many of the people I work with have spent years pushing through, coping, or overriding their needs, alongside anxiety, chronic stress, overwhelm or trauma. This is often accompanied by psychosomatic symptoms such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or persistent physical tension with no clear medical explanation.
My approach is relational, somatic and trauma-informed. I work from a mind–body perspective, recognising that emotions are not only held in the mind, but lived and remembered in the body. Together, we gently explore how past experiences, attachment patterns and survival responses may be showing up as emotional overwhelm, physical exhaustion, pain, or a sense of disconnection from yourself. I integrate psychotherapy with somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and principles drawn from yoga and embodied movement to support greater safety and regulation.
Therapy with me is paced, collaborative and compassionate. I draw on attachment-based work, inner child and parts work, mindfulness and embodied awareness to explore how past experiences and survival responses may be contributing to anxiety, exhaustion, emotional overwhelm or physical symptoms. This work is particularly supportive if you feel stuck in cycles of stress, burnout, emotional numbness or disconnection from your body.
I offer a non-judgemental space where you don’t need to push, perform or fix yourself. Being deeply heard and supported can be profoundly regulating in itself. Over time, this work can help you develop a kinder relationship with your body, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with a sense of ease and self-trust.
The hardest step is often reaching out I’m here to walk alongside you, at your pace, as you begin.

HOW I WORK:
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor therapy to your pace and needs, creating a grounded, compassionate space where your system can gently ease out of survival mode and into greater safety, clarity and self-connection. My work supports anxiety, trauma, overwhelm, depression, bereavement, attachment wounds and long-standing patterns of coping.
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
Weekly Sessions – £85 (60 minutes)
Weekly therapy offers the most consistency and momentum. This regular rhythm helps maintain focus, build trust, and support steady progress.
A concessionary self-selecting sliding scale (£70–£85) is available to make weekly therapy more accessible for those who wish to engage regularly but may not be able to accommodate £80 each week.
Fortnightly Sessions – £85 (60 minutes)
Fortnightly sessions offer a balanced and sustainable pace for those who prefer more space between sessions. This option allows time for reflection and integration while maintaining a consistent therapeutic connection.
Monthly Sessions – £125 (90 minutes)
Monthly sessions are 90 minutes and offer time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. They can be a useful option for those seeking a deeper, less frequent space for exploration, or as ongoing support following more regular therapy.
