About me
Therapy doesn't have to be stuffy, intimidating or uptight. You can absolutely heal in a hoodie!
Sometimes the expectation of therapy is a lot of silence and awkwardness… a lot of “How does that make you feel?” and only needed by people who have “big” problems, and that your problems are too small to bother anyone with.
Therapy is about building a good relationship together, looking at things you've maybe never addressed before, talking about things that have been difficult for you, learning to look at things from a new perspective, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, sometimes swearing, sometimes its about breakthroughs, sometimes its about setbacks, but it always about being there alongside you every step of the way.
Here I offer therapy that is relaxed, real, down to earth but above all, therapy that supports you in a way that can help you to start changing the way you are feeling.
—--------------------------------------------------------
Are you functioning, but not really coping?
Are relationships either not happening at all or are proving constantly difficult when you are in them?
Maybe you just feel completely meh and aimless, and stuff just feels a bit pointless?
Are you feeling down on yourself a lot of the time and struggling to feel ok?
Are you just feeling overwhelmed with things?
Maybe you have tried to get yourself out of the funk through various means but it's only working to a point and you just can't seem to find the right direction to go to get yourself out of it?
I help people who feel this way to find a way through and out of these struggles, no matter how hopeless it may feel.
Seeking a therapist doesn't mean you are broken or need fixing, it means you may be:
- Seeking clarity in areas of your life
- Sick and tired of feeling so low
- needing to work through overwhelming emotions
- Trying to make sense of traumatic experiences
- Dealing with the memories of a difficult childhood
- Looking for new ways and techniques to cope
- You just need somewhere you can talk without judgement
—--------------------------------------------------------
I am an integrative therapist which just means I am able to draw on different approaches that you feel work best for you, and we work completely together to find a way through what is holding you back.
I also use Attachment theory in my sessions… you may have already heard of this. Every single person has an attachment style, and our attachment style is essentially a blueprint we acquire in childhood of how we “should” be and it plays out in all our adult relationships… whether that's with friends, family, colleagues, romantic partners… and drives so much of our behaviour that we find automatic yet problematic in our day to day lives.
However, regardless of approaches, sometimes we just need a space to talk and not feel judged. A space where we can talk freely about how we really think and feel, and to have someone listen, fully and completely.
If you think I could be a good fit for you and you'd like to discuss things further, get in touch and we can have a no obligation chat about how we could work together and hopefully take the first steps in helping you to begin to feel better and more in control of your life.

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.
