About me
Hello, and a warm welcome to my profile. I understand how difficult this first step can feel when you may already be feeling overwhelmed by personal struggles. If your feeling nervous, that's okay and perfectly understandable. I too have experienced this first step, but also the enrichment and transformation that can come by freeing the self from feeling stuck in personal struggles.
I am passionate about supporting people to overcome internal challenges and work towards self-healing, by working together to deeply understand whatever is going on for you. Sessions with me is a space to feel heard, validated and free to express exactly how you are feeling, to emerge from behind the mask we so often show to the world. I can offer you a space to just 'be you'.
I truly believe that deep within all of us is the capacity to self-heal, through understanding and accepting all parts of who we are. Therapy with me offers you the space and guidance to develop a deeper awareness and understanding of yourself. I can guide you on a healing journey, where we can safely revisit, reflect and make better sense of your experiences, thoughts, feelings and behaviours through fresh eyes, cultivating new and helpful perspectives along the way. We can gain insights on how your experiences have influenced and shaped who you are, and support you to create a pathway to internal peace and a return to a more authentic version of the self that you want. We can explore how your experiences have impacted on the mind and body (nervous system), and deeply understand the felt sense of this impact, such as trauma or anxiety symptoms. Building awareness of how all of these interlink can promote change, helping you to move forward in way that is right for you.
I can offer you a welcoming space, free of judgement and opinions, whether face to face or online, which is confidential and safe for you to freely explore your difficulties. Together we can find the right way for your unique journey. I am happy to offer person-centred therapy, where you are able to just talk freely, with no judgement, to gain clarity and understanding around your difficulties. I can also offer a guided session, where we can work collaboratively to gain deeper understanding of the body and mind, and the impact your experiences have on the way you think, feel and behave. For those who want to lean into their growth on a deeper level, I offer the option to incorporate tools and techniques to enhance coping mechanisms, build resilience, and develop the ability to self-regulate trauma and anxiety symptoms. My sessions are tailored to each unique person and your needs.
Whether you are:
- Experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.
- Intrusive negative thoughts
- Experiencing the impact of trauma and PTSD
- Feelings of self-loathing, self-harm, low self-esteem, worthlessness
- Struggling with unhelpful or destructive patterns of behaviour
- Experiencing the loss & grief of a loved one, the self, or something important to you
- Experiencing relationship difficulties
- Feelings of loneliness, isolation, hopelessness and lost sense of purpose.
- Whatever your reason, I invite you to go on a journey with me, together we can explore, learn, discover, reflect and work towards a better understanding of what is going on within you. With greater awareness you can begin to develop the version of self that you really want. Together we can work towards developing and improving your ability to manage life's challenges in a way that is right for you.

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.
