About me

Are you feeling stuck in patterns that keep repeating despite your best efforts?
Perhaps you struggle with anxiety, low mood, self-doubt or ongoing difficulties in relationships. You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected or caught in familiar reactions that don’t reflect who you truly want to be.

I work with adults and couples who want to understand the deeper patterns behind their difficulties. This may include anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, the impact of trauma, low self-esteem or relationship conflict. Together, we explore how these patterns developed and what keeps them going today.

My approach is CBT-informed, structured and collaborative, while also creating space to work with emotions, long-standing beliefs about yourself and meaningful life experiences. Therapy is not only about coping — it is about gaining clarity, strengthening emotional regulation and gradually building a more grounded and confident sense of self.

You may want to feel less anxious, less self-critical, or less responsible for everything and everyone. You may want to understand your emotional reactions better, communicate more clearly, or reconnect with your own needs and values. We work at a pace that feels safe and manageable, using practical tools, emotional exploration and mindfulness-based techniques where helpful.

Therapy offers a space to reflect, reset and make more conscious choices — not from fear or automatic patterns, but from greater awareness and stability.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
