About me
I am a Certified Schema Therapist (ISST) and I am an Accredited and Registered Person-Centred and CBT Therapist (BACP Accredited), with extensive experience in working with complex trauma, PTSD, attachment issues, ADHD and autism. I also support clients dealing with anxiety, anger, and depression.
I work collaboratively with clients to facilitate change, process grief, overcome trauma, build resilience, and reduce unhelpful thinking patterns. I also provide parental support and guidance.
My approach is client-led, motivational, and strength-based, tailored to help individuals achieve their personal goals. I draw on skills from CBT and DBT to support emotional regulation and cognitive change. For those navigating difficult life events, I offer a non-directive counselling approach that supports healing through acceptance, insight, and self-compassion.
I understand that beginning therapy can feel daunting. However, having a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental space to explore your experiences can be a powerful turning point. Talking about what’s troubling you can help normalise your experience, offer clarity, and support meaningful and lasting change.
I offer face to face sessions as well as facilitating online sessions.

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).
