About me
Offering flexible, tailored therapy to those wanting to step out of unhelpful cycles and into intentional, empowered living. I work with individuals, couples, and family relationships. Using a holistic evidence-based framework to provide interventions for emotion regulation, managing disordered mood, and processing trauma. I also offer solution-focused relationship therapy for those seeking to de-escalate conflict in healthy ways, communicate effectively so both are heard and understood, and improve connection and intimacy.
Trauma therapy:
If your life has been shaped by past difficulties, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), or anxiety, my practice is focused on helping you process those experiences and develop the tools you need for lasting peace. Rather than just talking about the past, we work together to process events emotionally, cognitively, and somatically (in the body). For those living with PTSD or Complex-PTSD, I integrate specialist modalities such as CPT, PE, IRRT and EMDR to help you stop reliving the trauma, regulate your emotions, stabilise your mood, and build the robust inner resources required to move forward with confidence. Also offering EMDR for trauma, anxiety, and phobias.
Relationship therapy:
I work with couples and adult family relationships, focusing on the deep-seated clashes that often arise from childhood trauma, unmet needs, or communication differences. My practice is built on a dual clinical foundation of Psycho-traumatology and Relationship Therapy, allowing me to work safely with the complex history that sits beneath relational distress.
Typically, we navigate the role of your nervous system during conflict, moving from survival mode back into a state of safety and connection. My framework combines the structured dialogue of Imago and the Gottman Method, with a Solution-Focused approach, ensuring our work is both meaningful and efficient. By exploring core emotional needs through the Human Givens lens, we replace destructive patterns with practical skills, paving the way for deeper unity and a lasting sense of reconnection.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
