About me
I specialise in working with adults who may be functioning well in many areas of life, but who are privately struggling with anxiety, stress, anger, low mood or difficulties in relationships.
This often includes people managing demanding work, responsibility, or high expectations, who find themselves feeling increasingly overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns that are difficult to change.
My aim is to provide a space where we can make sense of what is happening, and begin to understand the emotional and psychological patterns that may be contributing to these difficulties.
I offer a warm, collaborative and down-to-earth therapeutic relationship where you can talk openly about whatever is troubling you, at your own pace.
I have particular experience working with anxiety in its many forms, including generalised anxiety, panic, social anxiety, health anxiety, and persistent overthinking or worry. Therapy can help you understand the patterns that maintain anxiety, and develop practical ways of managing it more effectively, including exposure-based and CBT-informed approaches where appropriate.
I also work extensively with anger and emotional regulation difficulties. Anger is often not the central issue in itself, but a signal that something underneath needs attention — such as stress, frustration, shame, or longstanding relational patterns. Together we can explore what sits beneath these reactions and develop more constructive and manageable ways of responding.
Relationship difficulties are another common focus of my work. This may involve conflict, communication breakdown, emotional distance, or repeating patterns that create frustration or disconnection in close relationships. Therapy can help you understand how these patterns develop and how they can begin to change.
I also work with low mood, depression and emotional exhaustion, which can sometimes feel linked to life circumstances, and at other times feel more difficult to explain. Our work can explore both immediate stressors and deeper underlying factors that affect self-esteem, motivation and emotional wellbeing.
Alongside this, I offer an integrative approach drawing on psychodynamic thinking, which can help us explore how past experiences and relational patterns continue to influence present-day difficulties. This can be particularly helpful for issues relating to identity, self-worth, trauma, or significant life transitions.
Before training as a counsellor, I spent over 30 years working at senior levels in industry, both in the UK and internationally. This gives me a particular understanding of workplace stress, burnout, and the pressures that can come with responsibility, performance expectations, and balancing professional demands with personal life.
I see therapy as a collaborative process. Together we work to understand what may be keeping you stuck, and to develop ways of thinking, relating and coping that feel more sustainable and authentic.

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.
