About me
Online Integrative Therapy & EMDR Therapy.
(Clinical supervision sessions coming soon)
I offer a warm, down-to-earth approach to therapy for adolescents and adults. Many people tell me they were nervous before their first session, but quickly found me easy to talk to and appreciated having a space where they felt genuinely understood rather than judged.
With over 13 years’ experience and full BACP accreditation, I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions. My particular areas of interest are trauma, OCD, personality difficulties, dissociation, recovering from narcissistic abuse and emotional wellbeing.
I believe therapy is about more than simply talking. Together we’ll work to understand what’s keeping you stuck while developing practical skills that help you cope with difficult thoughts, emotions and situations long after therapy has ended. Every person is different, so I tailor sessions to suit your individual needs rather than following a single therapeutic model.
Alongside my MSc in Counselling, I have completed additional training in EMDR, Compassion Focused Therapy, DBT-informed skills, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Analytic Therapy, CBT techniques, NLP and Life Coaching. This allows me to integrate different approaches depending on what will be most helpful for you.
I have a particular interest in helping clients with:
• Trauma and PTSD
• Complex trauma and childhood experiences
• OCD
• Personality difficulties and emotional regulation
• Narcissistic abuse recovery
• Dissociation and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)
• Anxiety and panic
• Depression
• Self-esteem and confidence
• Chronic illness, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue (using CBT and EMDR approaches)
• Weight management and emotional eating
• Goal setting and life coaching
I have also worked with Paralympic athletes, supporting psychological wellbeing and performance.
Sessions last 50 minutes and are available online Friday day times. There are other days available, please contact for availability regarding these.
If you’d like to see whether we’re a good fit, I offer a free, no-obligation introductory call where we can discuss what brings you to therapy and how I may be able to help.
Supervision
I also offer clinical supervision to qualified counsellors, psychotherapists and trainees. My supervision style is pluralistic, collaborative and supportive, recognising that there is no single approach that suits every therapist. I aim to provide a reflective, non-judgemental space where supervisees can explore their clinical work, develop confidence in their practice and integrate different therapeutic approaches in a way that feels authentic to them. I value curiosity, openness and professional growth, while ensuring ethical and safe practice remains at the heart of our work together.

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.
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.

Unfortunately, I am unable to offer a 24 hour crisis service at any point during therapy.
If you feel this is what you may require, please contact your GP to see what services are available locally to you.
