About me
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can't seem to shift — no matter how hard you try? You're not alone, and you don't have to keep managing it on your own.
I'm a BACP-accredited psychotherapist with a background in psychology, working with adults in private practice and specialist clinical settings. Alongside my private practice, I continue to work within hospital and mental health services — which means the people I see represent a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, not just those who present well.
Many of the people I work with are functioning well on the outside, but struggling internally — feeling reactive, numb, exhausted, or unsure how to make sense of what's happening. Others come because relationships feel strained, trust has been damaged, or life has reached a point where something needs careful attention.
My aim is to offer a calm, thoughtful, and human space where difficulties can be explored safely and at a pace that feels manageable. I work collaboratively, adapting to what feels most helpful for you.
Sessions are available online or in person in Guildford — a calm, confidential consulting room with convenient roadside parking.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a BA (Hons) in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy, alongside postgraduate diplomas in Counselling & Psychotherapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
I am an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP Accred) and an Accredited Member of the Society for Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (MSfDBT Accred). Both accreditations involve independent assessment of clinical practice, ethics, and ongoing professional development.
Alongside my private practice, I continue to work within hospital and specialist mental health services, supporting adults with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. I maintain regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development in line with professional standards.
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.

Additional information
I offer a free introductory call to help you decide whether working together feels right and to answer any initial questions about therapy or practical arrangements.
Sessions are usually held weekly and are charged at a consistent rate. Payment details, cancellation terms, and any available concessions can be discussed during the introductory call or in the first session, so everything is clear from the outset.
My aim is to be transparent and straightforward about fees, so there are no surprises once therapy begins.

Further information
Many people I work with aren’t sure where to start, and that’s okay. You don’t need a diagnosis or a clearly defined goal, just a sense that something isn’t working. I offer a calm, grounded space to talk things through and consider what kind of support might be most helpful.
My work is structured yet flexible, offering space to slow things down, make sense of difficulties, and begin to respond differently. I’m dual-accredited in humanistic and behavioural approaches, with experience supporting adults experiencing emotional overwhelm, anxiety, low mood, trauma, ADHD, relationship difficulties, and issues around self-esteem and identity.
Alongside private practice, I continue to work in specialist mental health settings, supporting people with more complex presentations. I work integratively, balancing reflective exploration with practical strategies where helpful. We usually begin with a brief, no-pressure introductory call to see whether working together feels right.
Sessions are offered online or in my private consulting room in Guildford, which provides a calm, confidential space with convenient roadside parking.
