About me
I specialise in Anxiety, Trauma and Stress and help people who are stuck feeling overwhelmed, depressed, and anxious.
I help people who are stuck feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious. This may be because of a traumatic event, challenging childhood, or day-to-day stressors.
I provide a creative and enabling space where safety is paramount. I do not pathologise or diagnose and look at what has happened to you rather than what is wrong with you.
Please note that I work ONLINE at present

I am a Registered Member of the BACP, the Complex Trauma Institute, and a Safe and Sound and Rest and Restore Provider.
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
Together we will find a way that works for you and plan ways to help you move forward. I am an integrative and somatic therapist, which means that I work in a way that engages you and your body. I use body-based techniques such as breathing and movement when that feels right for you.
In addition to helping you find new ways of being going forward, I will also teach you practical exercises to revitalise and soothe your nervous system, enabling it to heal and recover. Together we can start listening to your body and work out ways of calming your nervous system.
In addition, for clients that are suitable and subject to assessment, I will offer the Safe and Sound Protocol and the Rest and Restore Protocol. Both are clinically proven listening therapies which bring about more calm and connection in your life. Building a foundation of resilience, calm, and safety.

Further information
If stress, overwhelm, and anxiety feel like a relentless struggle, I am here to help.
Maybe you feel anxious or overwhelmed and are finding it hard to deal with everyday life, or are worried you might never feel normal again?
You may be in a fight-or-flight response and are trapped in a cycle of hypervigilance and collapse, making changes in your health and making chronic conditions worse.
Maybe a difficult event or trauma is always on your mind and is ruining your fun in your day-to-day life, or maybe you just feel numb - unable to feel and fatigued.
You may know this stems from a difficult past, such as your childhood, a traumatic event, or your family relationships or day-to-day stressors. Or maybe you don’t know what the cause is.
If so, I am here to support and help you.
