About me
As a qualified psychotherapist (PGDip Counselling & Psychotherapy) and (PGDip Advanced clinical practice in CBT) with a wealth of experience working in mental health (RMN). I offer a warm, collaborative space for adults navigating anxiety, C‑PTSD, PTSD, OCD, GAD, low self‑esteem, and the emotional impact of life transitions or trauma.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and evidence‑based. I specialise in Cognitive & Behavioural Therapy (CBT), trauma‑informed practice, and person‑centred psychotherapy, allowing me to tailor sessions to your unique needs, history, and goals. I have extensive experience supporting clients through complex trauma, chronic anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and long‑standing patterns that feel difficult to shift.
My work is steady, compassionate, and grounded in helping you understand your experiences, reduce distress, and build confidence in your ability to cope and move forward. Sessions are client‑led and paced in a way that feels safe and manageable, especially for those who have lived through overwhelming or destabilising experiences.
Additionally, I bring a culturally aware lens to therapy and work with adults from diverse backgrounds, identities, and life experiences.
Sessions are available online for flexibility and accessibility. I offer a free 20‑minute consultation so you can get a sense of whether working together feels right for you.

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), and the BACP Ethical Framework guides my work. My practice is also informed by my training as a Registered Mental Health Nurse, giving me a strong foundation in risk, safeguarding, and the complexities of mental health presentations.
Before moving into private practice, I worked across a range of NHS and community mental health settings, gaining extensive experience supporting adults with severe, complex, and long‑standing mental health difficulties. My background includes roles in mental health nursing, health visiting, mental health crisis services, and perinatal mental health, where I supported individuals and families during some of the most vulnerable and emotionally demanding periods of their lives.
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.
