About me
I believe that human beings are naturally wired to grow and flourish but at times, life presents challenges that can feel overwhelming or difficult to navigate alone. My therapeutic services include; EMDR - a gold standard and clinically researched intervention that addresses Ptsd, cptsd and a variety of all other ongoing challenges and patterns of thinking,feeling and behaviour. I also offer Individual counselling, couples/relationship counselling and children/young people's counselling. I provide a space to pause, reflect and begin to make sense of your experiences creating the conditions from which change and healing can occur.
I offer a collaborative, trauma-informed approach rooted in humanistic values and shaped by the power of narrative. I believe that we are all doing our best, often carrying stories the world may never hear and that sometimes, what we need most is simply a space to breathe, to feel, to be heard and seen without judgment.
This is that space.
Each chapter of your life matters, whether it’s past experiences that still impact you today or the chapter you find yourself in right now. Together, we can gently explore what has brought you here, and begin to consider how you might shape the chapters still to come.
I work with the understanding that we do not exist in isolation. We are all shaped by the systems we belong to families, relationships, communities, cultures and histories. Gaining insight into these dynamics can be deeply healing and transformative, helping you to move forward with greater clarity and intention.
With curiosity and care, I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, always guided by your unique needs and experiences. I may offer tools and strategies when they feel appropriate, but my work is always centred on you; your voice, your pace, and your autonomy.
What you share here is held in complete confidence, with warmth, respect, and compassion. This is your space to speak freely, explore what feels stuck, and begin the process of meaningful change.
You don’t have to do this alone.
Let’s begin from where you are.

I work in private practice with a diverse array of client's that present with a variety of psychological and emotional issues. Alongside my independent practice, I work within a school setting that provides much needed therapy to the children and young people it serves. Within both settings my practice includes supporting others on their healing journey with a variety of presenting issues. My professional history includes extensive experience of supporting others that have experienced significant childhood trauma and or neglect. The long term effects into adulthood can manifest as relational challenges, mental health difficulties and struggles with emotional regulation. Equally, I have worked with others that bring only events of their adulthood/current life into the therapeutic space. Both equally valid and both welcomed with warmth and compassion here.

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
My humility as a therapist is born from the understanding of experiencing what it means to be human; the light, the dark and everything in between. My personal life story, with all its trials and tribulations has led me to sit in the client's chair and have a real world understanding of how that can feel. As part of the framework for ethical practice therapists in training must also access their own therapy as a vital piece of the training. It is in fact my stories of personal transformation that sit at the bedrock of my commitment to you. The 'knowing' that therapy really does make a difference.
