About me
Do you ever feel stuck between who you are and who you want to be? Maybe you're longing for change but unsure where to start- in your relationships, your sense of self, or how you move through the world.
I offer a space that helps you explore that gap with compassion, honesty, and practical support. I work with individuals, couples, and those navigating neurodivergence or queer identity, helping you understand yourself more clearly and create the changes that feel right for you. My approach is both empathetic and challenging- a balance that keeps you grounded while gently pushing toward real, lasting solutions.
As an Integrative counsellor, I blend together different theories and practices for a tailored approach to individual and couples therapy. There are no expectations or prescriptive sessions. This allows a focused approach for you to get the most of our time together.
Counselling works to deepen your awareness and attunement within yourself. Seeking a balance between mind and body, to process past and present experiences, at your own pace.
I work with a solution focused core element, endeavouring to help you understand your past, to explore the present and to empower you to move forward in life. This may be working with a goal in mind for the short term or a longer term journey.
If you feel 'Talking therapy' might not be the right approach for you, creative work in sessions can be just as healing, by expressing how feelings may look or feel if they could express themselves, and this can give a greater insight on areas which may be hidden.
I work with individuals and couples embarking on relationship therapy. Whether it is navigating a crisis within a relationship, deepening connection for stronger foundations, Intimacy difficulties, betrayals or finding a way to move on separately.
I am a breakup and divorce coach, so I can help you to find empowerment and solutions to move forward with your life.
I specialise in Relationship, Couples, Eating disorders and Neurodivergent therapy.
My practice is neurodivergent and LBTQIA+ Safe space.

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and hold professional liability insurance. I adhere to an ethical framework and commitment to work ethically, respectfully and professionally. Confidentiality, boundaries and continued professional development are key to my practice.
I have personal lived experience with ADHD and can help to navigate what a potential diagnosis may bring up, learn to give yourself compassion and help to reduce the shame associated with Neurodiversity. I also run ADHD therapeutic groups in Taunton.
My background was working for 20+ years as a Veterinary nurse. This has given me a greater insight into love and loss. I am compassionate, warm and caring. I offer a space where joy can also be celebrated, I believe laughter is a great form of healing.
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.

Further information
I believe great healing can happen in groups. For this reason I offer group therapy.
There are many reasons why group therapy would be right for you. More cost effective, develop greater self-awareness within groups, form deeper connections and you can have fun whilst doing therapy.
I facilitate a Group which requires a 6 week commitment. Please get in touch to find out about upcoming groups.
