About me
About Me and My Therapy Practice
Are you feeling sad, anxious, or trapped? Are you ready for a change but unsure where to begin? Let's work together at your own pace, step by step, to explore your emotions and address the challenges holding you back. In a safe, supportive space, we’ll work towards healing, growth, and reclaiming your sense of self.
With 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I specialize in working with young adults and individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, and more. I also have extensive experience supporting minority groups, neurodiverse individuals, creatives, and the LGBTQ+ community.
What I Offer
I use Gestalt therapy, a dynamic and powerful approach that helps you stay grounded in the present, process emotions, and close cycles of unfinished business. Together, we can address your struggles, help you let go of what no longer serves you, and rediscover control over your life.
My practice is built on warmth, empathy, and genuine connection. I aim to create a space where you feel secure, accepted, and valued for who you are. While offering support, I also gently challenge beliefs that may be keeping you stuck, helping you unlock new perspectives and possibilities.
My Approach
- Gestalt Psychotherapy
- Integrative Humanistic Counselling (British Accredited)
- Humanistic Music Therapy
- Bioenergetic Therapy
Your First Session
I offer a free 30-minute consultation. In this initial meeting, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy, clarify your goals, identify your personal strengths, and consider any obstacles. This will help us create a focused, personalized plan that aligns with what matters most to you.
What I Can Help With
Anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bereavement, low self-esteem, cultural issues, identity and diversity, trauma, relationship struggles, OCD, personal development, substance dependency, and more.

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.
