About me
I believe that effective therapy begins with feeling safe, listened to and accepted.
I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can talk openly about whatever is bringing you to therapy. Whether you're feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, grieving, or finding yourself caught in patterns that keep repeating, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. My role isn't to tell you what to do, but to support you in understanding yourself more deeply, building on your strengths, and finding a way forward that feels right for you.
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy. Transactional Analysis helps us understand how our early experiences can shape the way we think, feel, and relate to others today.
I am also a trained EMDR therapist. EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that can help you work through difficult experiences and memories that still feel upsetting or stuck. Using techniques such as eye movements or tapping, it supports the brain's natural healing process and can help reduce distress, build resilience, and bring a greater sense of calm.
I have experience supporting people with:
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Overthinking and catastrophic thinking
• Grief and loss, including the devastating impact of losing a loved one to suicide
• Trauma
Since 2018, I have volunteered as a counsellor with West Kent Mind alongside running my private practice in Forest Row. I offer both face-to-face and online therapy sessions.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, so I offer a free 30-minute introductory phone call. It's an opportunity for us to talk about what brings you to therapy, for you to ask any questions, and to see whether we feel like the right fit to work together.
Sessions are 50 minutes and cost £60. Longer sessions are available and charged on a pro-rata basis.

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.
