About me
I am a warm, approachable, and down-to-earth psychotherapist who is passionate about supporting people through life's challenges. I believe that everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, understood, and accepted. Whether you're dealing with something that feels overwhelming or something you find difficult to make sense of, nothing is too big or too small to bring into my therapy room.
As a fully qualified BACP-registered integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, I tailor my approach to suit your individual needs, recognising that every person's journey is unique. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is central to the healing process, and I aim to create a warm, genuine, and supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and accepted. My hope is that therapy becomes a space where you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and vulnerabilities, and feel free to show up exactly as you are.
I hold a Master's degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling and am committed to ongoing professional development to ensure my practice remains informed, reflective, and effective. I have experience working with a diverse range of clients across different ages and backgrounds and have previously worked with organisations including Improving Lives, Place2Be, and Mind.
Alongside my private practice, I work part-time as a School Project Manager, supporting children and young people to access therapeutic and emotional support. I also provide supervision for trainee counsellors, supporting them in their professional development as they begin their therapeutic careers.
Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful change.

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).

Further information
I believe that each of us has a unique story that shapes how we experience the world, relate to others, and understand ourselves. Sometimes, exploring that story can help us gain greater self-awareness, understand our emotional responses and triggers, and make sense of patterns that may no longer serve us. I also recognise that no two people experience life in the same way.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches and techniques, allowing me to tailor our work together to suit your individual needs, experiences, or goals. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I aim to offer therapy that feels meaningful and relevant to you.
I understand that reaching out for therapy can take courage. Beginning this journey can feel daunting, which is why I work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Our sessions are led by what matters most to you, as I believe you are the expert on your own life and experiences. My role is to provide a supportive, reflective space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with curiosity and compassion.
At times, it can be difficult to fully understand what you're feeling or why you're feeling it. Together, we can gently explore those emotions, helping you identify, name, and make sense of them, while developing a deeper understanding of yourself.
My practice is primarily based on talking therapy, offering a space for open conversation and reflection. Occasionally, I may suggest creative or experiential techniques that could support our work together. These are always offered as invitations rather than expectations, and you are free to choose what feels right for you.
I offer both short-term and long-term therapy, with sessions available face-to-face or online via Zoom. Sessions are 50 minutes in length and can be arranged on a weekly or fortnightly basis. For longer-term clients, flexible drop-in sessions may also be available when additional support is needed.
