About me
I’m a psychodynamic therapist and counsellor working full‑time with adults. I have a particular interest in supporting people living with depression and those affected by relational or childhood trauma, including complex PTSD. Many of my clients come feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worried that their emotions are “too much.” If you’ve felt misunderstood or dismissed in previous therapy, you are welcome here.
I also work with people navigating coercive control, narcissistic abuse, painful or confusing relationships, and long‑standing patterns such as people‑pleasing, emotional withdrawal or feeling responsible for others. These experiences often have deep relational roots, and therapy can help you understand them and begin to move forward.
My approach is warm, steady and relational. I offer a non‑judgmental, containing space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels manageable. Working psychodynamically means we pay attention to your past, your relationships, and the patterns that repeat in your life — including those that may show up between us. Together, we can begin to understand these patterns and create room for change.
Before starting therapy, I offer a free 20–30 minute consultation so we can meet, talk briefly about what’s bringing you, and get a sense of whether working together feels right. If we continue, our first full session is a gentle, exploratory conversation where you can share what feels difficult without pressure to disclose anything before you’re ready.
Over time, this work can help you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and better able to navigate your life and relationships. I offer long‑term psychotherapy or short‑term counselling, which we can discuss in your consultation.
I work predominantly online with clients across the UK, and also offer face‑to‑face sessions from a private garden office in Heathfield, East Sussex, with free on‑street parking nearby.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology, with a focus on Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience, at Royal Holloway University of London.
I continued my training at the University of Brighton, where I
completed a Level 6 counselling skills course and went on to complete their Postgraduate degree in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Counselling (accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
I have worked in charity settings and privately for over 3 years, with diverse experience across a wide range of clients and presentations.
I undertake frequent training and undergo regular supervision.
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.
