About me
Many of the people I work with arrive carrying experiences that feel difficult to talk about, even with those closest to them.
Perhaps something has changed in your relationship, your sexual wellbeing, your confidence, or your sense of who you are. You may be feeling disconnected from yourself, struggling with intimacy, navigating the impact of illness or loss, or finding that old patterns keep showing up in ways that no longer serve you.
My work is grounded in the understanding that our emotional, physical, relational, and sexual lives do not exist separately from one another. When something feels difficult in one area, it often echoes across others.
Alongside private practice, I have worked within NHS oncology psychology services, supporting people facing the psychological impact of cancer and long-term health conditions. I have also worked within the St Pancras Sexual Problems Clinic, supporting individuals experiencing a wide range of sexual difficulties, and within services supporting those affected by domestic abuse and relational trauma.
These experiences have shaped a way of working that is compassionate, thoughtful, and deeply respectful of the complexity of people's lives.
As a psychosexual and relationship therapist in advanced specialist training, I have a particular interest in intimacy, sexuality, relationships, identity, and the ways our life experiences influence how we connect with ourselves and others.
Whether you come with a specific difficulty or simply a sense that something feels stuck, therapy can offer an opportunity to understand yourself more fully, develop greater self-compassion, and create meaningful change.
I offer a welcoming, anti-oppressive, kink-informed practice for adults from all backgrounds, identities, and relationship structures.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist accredited with the BACP, and a psychosexual and relationship therapist in training.
Alongside my private practice, I have developed clinical experience across a range of NHS and specialist settings, which continue to inform my work with clients today.
My background includes NHS oncology psychology services, where I supported individuals and families affected by cancer and long-term health conditions. This work deepened my understanding of the emotional impact of illness, uncertainty, grief, and major life transitions.
I have also worked within the St Pancras Sexual Problems Clinic, a specialist NHS service supporting people experiencing a wide range of sexual difficulties, including issues relating to desire, arousal, sexual function, and intimacy.
In addition, I have worked within services supporting individuals affected by domestic abuse and relational trauma, as well as The Parenting Project, supporting parents and caregivers navigating emotional and relational challenges.
I am currently undertaking advanced specialist training in psychosexual and relationship therapy, and continue to develop my clinical practice through ongoing training, supervision, and reflective practice.
My work is grounded in a pluralistic, relational, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed approach.
Before taking the decision to train as a therapist, I was a Commissioned Officer in HM Armed Forces. During my career, I trained as both a Pilot and Air Traffic Controller, culminating in working as a Leadership Training Instructor where I undertook coaching qualifications in Management and Leadership. I subsequently feel comfortable integrating coaching into our sessions if this is required.
Alongside my counselling diploma, I have a first-class honours degree in Psychology and a masters degree in Professional Writing. I am interested in how writing and story telling can be used effectively within a therapeutic setting and I encourage creativity in any form as part of the therapeutic process.
As a qualified Breathwork Coach I can incorporate specific breathwork practices into our sessions if you would find this useful. Breathwork is known for its mental and physical health benefits. It can calm and soothe a dysregulated nervous system and it can also invigorate and energise. In this way, it is useful in managing both anxiety and depression. The breath is a simple yet powerful tool that is accessible to everyone but highly under-utilised in an effective sense.
I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) which means I have undergone extensive face-to-face training to ensure I meet the BACP's rigorous professional standards. I am a student member of the College of Sex and Relationship Therapists (COSRT). I am registered with the ICO, DBS checked and fully insured.
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).
