About me
If you feel it's tough to embrace spontaneity, creativity and struggle with a sense of security, you might be wrestling with some psychological challenges like anxiety, trauma, depression, or low self-esteem. I'm here to offer you support in a warm and understanding way.
My practice includes therapeutic methods of talking therapy, guided exercises and empathy to attend to your current emotions and address those aspects you are struggling with or have been avoiding. Psychotherapy supports your understanding of your inner motivations so that you can be aware of the reasons behind your feelings and actions - laying the ground for the changes you seek.
One of my strengths is connecting empathetically with your experience and guiding the process of self-discovery. By supporting your understanding of yourself, you can make sense of why you find yourself in that anxious or fearful place, offering new ways of navigation.
Our conversations will take place in a confidential and safe environment where you can freely explore your potential. With my years of experience as a psychotherapist, both privately and within the NHS and as a course tutor and trainer for qualifying counsellors, I'm well-resourced to provide psychological support.
If you are interested in working together with me, whether in-person or online, please do not hesitate to reach out for a conversation.

Member organisations
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
