About me
I believe that effective therapy begins with trust, safety and a strong therapeutic relationship. When we feel truly heard and understood, meaningful change becomes possible.
I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where we can explore whatever you are bringing — whether that is feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed, or noticing patterns that seem to repeat in your life. Together, we will gently uncover what may be holding you back and work towards greater clarity, resilience and emotional freedom.
My approach is grounded in the belief that the capacity for healing already exists within you. Therapy can help you access that inner strength, understand yourself more deeply, and build lasting foundations for change.
My Training and Approach
I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis Practice, following four years of training in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy. Transactional Analysis helps us understand how past experiences shape present-day thoughts, feelings and relationships, and offers practical tools for change.
I am also an EMDR practitioner in training. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process and resolve distressing or traumatic experiences. It can be particularly effective for trauma, anxiety, intrusive memories, grief, and experiences that continue to feel “stuck” despite time passing. EMDR works by supporting the brain’s natural ability to heal, allowing painful memories to become less overwhelming and more integrated.
I have experience supporting clients with:
Anxiety
Depression
Catastrophic and overthinking patterns
Grief and loss including the profound sadness and devastation following the suicide of a loved one.
I have been a volunteer counsellor with West Kent Mind since 2018 and run a private practice in Forest Row. I offer both face-to-face sessions and online therapy via Zoom.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I offer a free initial phone conversation so we can get a sense of how it feels to talk together before committing to ongoing sessions.
Sessions are 50 minutes and cost £60.
If you feel ready to begin, I warmly invite you to get in touch.

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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
