About me
I am a qualified Transactional Analysis Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and BACP Registered Member. I am also a UKCP trainee member and registered with IARTA.
I work with adults and couples, both face to face and online, and I support people who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in repetitive patterns, or unsure how to make sense of what they are experiencing.
I have a particular interest in working with anxiety, OCD, ADHD and neurodivergence, including difficulties such as overthinking, intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, masking, low self-esteem and a sense of pressure to cope or perform. I also work with depression and low mood, trauma and difficult childhood experiences, bereavement and loss, relationship and attachment difficulties, family issues, separation, identity and belonging, substance and alcohol use, loneliness and significant life changes.
My way of working is relational and integrative. I pay close attention not only to symptoms, but also to the patterns, relationships and earlier experiences that may be influencing how you feel and respond in the present. Therapy can offer a space to understand these patterns more deeply, develop greater awareness and begin to create different choices.
With couples, I work with communication difficulties, repeated conflict, emotional distance, trust issues, affairs, separation and uncertainty about the future of the relationship.
My practice is LGBTQIA+-affirming and neurodivergence-informed, and I welcome clients from different backgrounds, identities and life experiences.

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.
