About me
Do you look successful on paper but struggle to switch off? Maybe work has quietly become the thing that holds everything together and you're starting to wonder what happens if it doesn't.
You might be questioning what success actually means to you, or feeling the gap between where you are and what you thought you'd feel by now. Perhaps a life change - a new role, parenthood, separation, or a shift in what you want - has brought things to the surface that are harder to ignore.
I work with people who are high-functioning on the outside and quietly exhausted on the inside. My approach is warm but direct - I'll help you make sense of your patterns, not just manage your symptoms.
Common issues I support:
Workaholism and difficulty switching off
Anxiety, stress, and burnout
Work-related pressure or performance anxiety
Hyperindependence or difficulty asking for help
Feeling stuck despite achievements
Life transitions - parenthood, separation, career chang
What clients often notice:
Greater clarity about what's actually driving their patterns
Reduced anxiety and more capacity to rest
Practical tools for sustainable change
A closer alignment between how they're living and what they actually value
Training, qualifications & experience
I draw on CBT, psychodynamic thinking, and person-centred principles, with recent training in Internal Family Systems (IFS). In practice, this means we'll figure out together what approach fits you best.
In our first session, we explore what brought you to therapy and what you're hoping for. From there, we work together to understand the patterns, thoughts, and feelings that are keeping you stuck and find a way through that's grounded in who you actually are.
If you're high-achieving, self-aware enough to know something needs to change, and ready to do the work, I think we'd work well together.
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.
