About me
Do you find yourself stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-criticism, emotional overwhelm, or feeling like you’ve had to “hold it all together” for far too long?
Experiences such as trauma, grief, emotional neglect, and difficult relationships can shape how we see ourselves and others, often leaving us feeling disconnected, guarded, and exhausted.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can begin to explore the deeper roots of these experiences with compassion and curiosity. My approach is collaborative, empowering, and grounded in helping you rebuild self-trust, emotional safety, and a stronger connection to yourself.
I believe healing happens through feeling seen, understood, and supported, not judged or rushed. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you, but helping you understand yourself more deeply and move towards a life that feels more authentic and emotionally free.
You don’t have to navigate that journey alone.
Training, qualifications & experience
CPCAB Level 2 Counselling Skills
CPCAB Level 3 Counselling Skills
Counselling BA (Hons)
APT Developmental Trauma & Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
Over the years, I have worked across a variety of settings within the mental health sector, supporting individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, from mild difficulties to more complex mental health needs.
Before training as a counsellor, I spent five years working within adult mental health support, which deepened my understanding of how trauma, life experiences, and emotional distress can impact daily life, relationships, and wellbeing.
My experience also includes working within schools, supporting children and young people whilst working closely alongside safeguarding teams and social care services. Alongside this, I worked as a CYP counsellor within Little Havens Children’s Hospice, supporting children and families navigating bereavement, grief, and palliative care.
These experiences have shaped my compassionate, trauma-informed approach and strengthened my belief in the importance of creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic space. Alongside private practice, I also teach counselling skills to individuals pursuing a career within counselling and therapeutic work.
I have a particular interest in supporting clients experiencing trauma, low self-worth, emotional overwhelm, body image difficulties, and inner child wounds.
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.
