About me

Hello, I’m a psychotherapist offering a warm, supportive space for adults, children, and adolescents who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. You might be finding it hard to express how you feel, or noticing that talking alone doesn’t quite reach what’s going on underneath. I offer a gentle, creative approach that can help you (or your child) explore emotions in a way that feels safer and more natural. My title is a protected one with the HCPC. I also have over 10 years experience working within private, public, and NHS settings.

I integrate psychotherapy with a creative approach, which can be especially helpful when feelings are difficult to put into words. I’ll meet you where you are, and we always progress in a way that is comfortable to you. I also work with families in conflict to improve communication ( parent/children and partners/spouses), building stronger relationships.

I work with a range of experiences and ages. I also offer specific group sessions, creating space for shared experience and connection. Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I aim to make the process feel as comfortable & collaborative as possible. If you’d like to explore whether this feels like the right fit, do reach out; I’m here any time. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I completed 5 years training (University of London) to be able to hold the protected title of 'Arts Therapist and psychotherapist (which is a regulated profession in the UK)' with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC ). You can check my credentials through their website. I have 14 years working in practice.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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.

HCPC
Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)

The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.

They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.

Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
