About me
I am a fully qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures, and I offer a collaborative and thoughtful approach to therapy.
At the core of my practice is an in-depth exploration of your emotional life and the difficulties you may be facing. I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can begin to explore issues such as anxiety, low mood, relationship problems, identity concerns, or a general sense of feeling stuck.
Psychodynamic counselling focuses on how early experiences and unconscious patterns may continue to influence the way you think, feel, and relate to yourself and others today. Together, we will work to understand these deeper dynamics, helping you gain insight, shift unhelpful patterns, and make more empowered choices in your life and relationships.
A particular area of focus in my work is attachment theory - the idea that our earliest relationships form templates for how we experience closeness, trust, and emotional safety. These patterns, formed in childhood, can unconsciously shape how we relate in adult life, often showing up in ways we might not fully understand - for example, difficulties with intimacy, fear of abandonment, emotional withdrawal, or patterns of people-pleasing.
In our work together, I pay close attention to how these attachment patterns may be influencing your current relationships and sense of self. The therapeutic relationship itself can become a place to safely explore and even begin to shift these patterns. Over time, this process can lead to a more secure sense of identity, greater emotional resilience, and the capacity to form more satisfying and authentic connections with others.
My approach is warm, thoughtful, and attuned to your unique emotional world. I believe that with greater understanding and self-awareness, change is not only possible - but enduring.

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
I offer 50-minute counselling sessions on a weekly basis, tailored to suit your individual needs. This can be either short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or open-ended for deeper, longer-term work.
Before our initial sessions, I will ask you to complete a short form with some personal details (such as your address, contact information, and GP details), along with a brief questionnaire to help guide our work. Initially, I offer 2–3 consultation sessions, which give us the opportunity to meet, explore what you’re hoping to work on in therapy, and consider whether we feel like a good fit for ongoing work together.
During this time, I may ask more questions than usual in order to gain a fuller understanding of your background, current experiences, and any recurring patterns. These sessions are also a space for you to ask any questions you may have about the counselling process, and to share any thoughts or concerns you might have about starting therapy.
