About me
I am trained in Integrative Psychotherapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, and Clinical Hypnotherapy.
I work in a very personalised way, tailoring my approach to what you as an individual present with. I combine and integrate several ways of working to holistically best manage whatever you are seeking support for.
I believe that for optimal health, and functioning at your highest potential, we must work with the mind, body, and soul; it is through nurturing the health of these three aspects that you can attain a fulfilling and happy life.
I integrate mindfulness practices, meditation, and breathwork into my practice to work with not only symptoms of the mind but equally the body, and regulation of your nervous system.
To heal, grow, and transition into a more manageable and fulfilling life, where both your relationships and self-perception thrive, it is essential to nurture not only the health of your mind but also the peace of your spirit. I offer a range of practices that empower you to transform both mind and soul, fostering total healing and optimal living.
I integrate psychotherapeutic practices with spiritual healing practices that activate and nurture the connection of your soul with your mind and body . This dynamic approach works comprehensively to support your mental, emotional, and spiritual health; enhancing feelings of connectedness with yourself and the world, fostering inner harmony and sense of life fulfilment.
By weaving together these diverse practices, I aim to support you in achieving a balanced, harmonious, and fulfilling life.
I have over 10 years of experience working in the mental health and social care sector; having worked within public sectors (NHS and Probation Services), charitable organisations, and private practice. I have worked with people struggling with various mental health conditions, multiple disadvantages, and complex needs; including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, bi polar, personality disorders, suicidality, OCD, eating disorders, survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence, entrenched rough sleepers, and psychiatric out patients.
Through the work experience I have accumulated, in addition to my personal life experiences that I have overcome, I am confident that I can help you with whatever issues present, and help you to move through any stuckness, into a place of activating your highest self.

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.
