About me
"Every journey begins with a single step".
If you're considering counselling, you've already taken an important step towards understanding yourself and creating positive change.
I am a BACP-accredited therapist and clinical supervisor, offering a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and feel truly heard.
I work using an integrative approach, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic models to suit your individual needs. I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” in therapy, and we will work together to find an approach that feels right for you.
I have particular experience working with complex trauma, PTSD, and men’s mental health. I support clients who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps, helping them to better understand themselves and their experiences.
Our work together can help you make sense of where you are now, process difficult experiences, and explore new ways forward. Whether you are looking to make changes in your life or gain a deeper understanding of yourself, therapy can offer the space to do this at your own pace.
Seeking support can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to face things alone. I will work alongside you in a collaborative and supportive way, helping you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-awareness.
I have experience supporting people with a wide range of challenges, including trauma, depression, low self-esteem, and different forms of anxiety such as generalised anxiety, health anxiety, social anxiety, and panic.
I also work with issues such as work-related stress, PTSD, and men’s mental health, as well as supporting individuals exploring LGBTQ+ experiences, sexuality, identity, and gender.
In addition, I have experience working with ADHD, autism, and other learning differences, along with concerns around sexual behaviour and pornography use.
Whatever you’re facing, you’ll be met with understanding, respect, and a space where you can talk openly without judgement.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work with a wide range of clients, offering support for many different psychological and emotional challenges, including trauma, identity, relationships, and patterns of behaviour that may feel difficult to understand or change.
A central part of my work is supporting people who have experienced trauma, including complex trauma and PTSD. I am trained in EMDR therapy, which allows me to work at a deeper level with distressing or overwhelming experiences, helping them to be processed in a safe and manageable way.
I also have a strong interest and experience in working with men’s mental health and LGBTQ+ experiences, including issues around identity, sexuality, and belonging. Alongside this, I support clients who may be struggling with shame, compulsive behaviours, or concerns around sexual behaviour, always within a respectful, non-judgemental space.
My approach is integrative, meaning I draw on a range of therapeutic models to meet your individual needs. Together, we can explore patterns, build self-understanding, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
I am passionate about providing a steady, confidential, and supportive environment where you can explore whatever you are facing at your own pace. I am committed to ongoing professional development, ensuring that the support I offer is ethical, up-to-date, and grounded in best practice.
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.

Further information
Anything new can feel a little daunting, and counselling is no exception. Talking about difficult experiences or feelings might seem intimidating, especially if you're not sure what you want to achieve or begin to say. But, like anything else, it's often not as hard as you were expecting. And I'm here to help and support you through the process.
