About me
I'm a Recovery Focussed Psychotherapist specialising in Long Covid, chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), trauma, anxiety and nervous system health.
Many of the people I work with have reached a point where they feel stuck. They may have tried different therapies, searched for answers to persistent symptoms, or found themselves living in survival mode without fully understanding why. Together, we explore how life experiences, chronic stress and physical illness can affect both the mind and the body, creating patterns that may no longer be serving you.
My approach is integrative, which means I tailor therapy to you rather than working rigidly from one model. Alongside psychotherapy, I incorporate an understanding of the nervous system and body based approaches where appropriate, helping you make sense of emotional, behavioural and physical responses with curiosity rather than judgement.
Recovery looks different for everyone. My role is not simply to help reduce symptoms, but to support you in understanding yourself more deeply so that meaningful and lasting change becomes possible.
I have a particular interest in working with people living with Long Covid, ME/CFS, dysautonomia, persistent physical symptoms and other energy limiting health conditions. I also work with people experiencing trauma, anxiety, panic, relationship difficulties, grief, burnout and significant life transitions. My approach can be particularly helpful for people who are neurodivergent, as therapy is adapted to your individual needs rather than expecting you to fit a particular way of working.
Alongside my private practice, I have worked within NHS and private acute mental health services, supporting adults and young people experiencing a wide range of psychological difficulties. This experience has strengthened my belief that recovery is about far more than managing symptoms. It is about rebuilding safety, understanding your nervous system and reconnecting with yourself in a way that feels compassionate, sustainable and authentic.

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.
