About me
You’re anxious and burnt-out.
You feel like you’ve lost yourself.
You’re carrying a heavy load and can’t help but think you’re the problem.
You’ve been the strong one. The responsible one. The one that holds it all together.
You’re carrying the weight of unprocessed trauma. Sometimes the kind that's obvious and sometimes the quieter kind that no one else would recognise — and you’ve never had the space to process it.
You feel not good enough. Like you might be fundamentally broken.
You’ve tried to fix things yourself a hundred different ways and nothing has stuck.
I can help.
It can feel daunting to take the first step. It’s really important to find the right counsellor – someone you connect with. That’s why I offer an initial free 20 minute consultation. If you’re interested in finding out more, please get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
I believe there is always a story. Always. The way we think, feel, and behave didn't come from nowhere — it came from thousands of messages we received from family, school, friends, society, culture, religion. Most of us are completely unaware of these messages until we sit down and actually try to unpick them. That's where the real work happens. Not in learning coping strategies or reframing thoughts, but in bringing those unconscious scripts into awareness so we can finally see the profound impact those messages have had on our lives.
Most people don't think they "qualify" as having experienced trauma because it wasn't a single catastrophic event. But trauma is also the quieter stuff — the emotional unavailability, the messages you internalised, the relationships that taught you you weren't enough. I’ll help you see that your story matters.
I’m not a blank slate nodding along sympathetically from across the room. I’m right there in it with you, naming what I notice, bringing theory into the session when it helps something land, and never pretending the room exists outside the oppressive systems you’re navigating.
I very much believe in the two-way nature of the therapeutic relationship, and you will feel that immediately.
What makes me distinct is how I use Transactional Analysis — the style of therapy I trained in. I’ve seen time and time again how my approach genuinely shifts something for people. I love the moment when a client's face changes because suddenly the mess makes sense.
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.

Want to find out more? Send me an email and we'll arrange an initial free 20 minute consultation via phone or video call. We can then talk through what you're looking for, and you can ask any questions you may have. There is no obligation to continue after this, but if you're happy then we can set up the first session.
