About me
I offer integrative psychotherapy for adults (18+), drawing on psychodynamic, existential and person-centred approaches. This means I tailor my work to you as an individual, exploring not just presenting difficulties but the deeper patterns, relationships and experiences that shape who you are.
I have a particular interest in working with people navigating complex emotional landscapes, including those who grew up in boarding schools, individuals experiencing attachment difficulties, early loss, bereavement or feelings of abandonment and those who have grown up in households affected by addiction, mental health or neglect. I also work with people exploring questions of identity and life transitions.
Alongside my therapy practice I have spent many years working in the Third Sector both delivering and managing services across mental health, drug and alcohol services and supporting women who have experienced domestic abuse and sexual assault. This experience gives me a grounded, non-judgemental understanding of the challenges people face and deeply informs my therapeutic work.
I offer weekly ongoing psychotherapy online and in person at my practice in Guildford, Surrey.
I also offer in person and online supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists who are qualified or still in training.

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.
