About me
Something has brought you here. You may know exactly what it is or just know that life shouldn't feel this hard.
Perhaps you're anxious, overthinking, feeling low or overwhelmed. A relationship may be hurting you, your confidence has changed, or you are exhausted from being the one who holds everything together. Maybe something from the past still affects you or you simply don't feel like yourself anymore or you are ready for a fresh chapter.
We can work that out together. I offer active, in-depth psychotherapy rather than simply listening. I will help you make sense of what is happening, understand what may be keeping it going, and work with you towards meaningful change.
With over 15 years' clinical experience across NHS, complex mental-health and private settings, I work integratively, drawing particularly on Schema Therapy and Internal Family Systems alongside ACT, DBT and CBT. You don't need to know what any of these mean therapy is tailored to you, we will work it out together.
My style is warm, engaged, collaborative and active, combining deeper psychological understanding with practical ways forward whilst you remain the expert of your life experiences.

Training, qualifications & experience
I bring 15 years of clinical experience across NHS mental-health services, private practice and the voluntary sector, working with people experiencing both everyday difficulties and more complex, longstanding psychological and relational concerns.
I am a BACP-accredited Psychotherapist , registered member of UKCP and am completing the final stage of my Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy. My academic background also includes an MSc in Psychological Research Methods and BSc in Psychology.
My experience within the NHS has included complex adult mental-health services, CAMHS and the London Gender Identity Clinic, alongside work in private and community settings. This breadth of experience means I am comfortable working not only with anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties, but also when problems feel complicated, longstanding or difficult to make sense of.
My training is integrative, with particular emphasis on Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems alongside CBT, ACT, DBT and other relational and experiential approaches. Rather than applying the same model to everyone, I draw from different psychological approaches according to the person, the difficulty and what is most likely to be helpful.
I have worked with difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma and difficult relationship experiences, OCD, emotional regulation, eating and body-image concerns, low self-worth, perfectionism, sleep difficulties and recurring relational patterns.
My doctoral research explores women's recovery following emotionally harmful and manipulative intimate relationships, reflecting a particular professional interest in how difficult relationships can affect self-worth, trust, boundaries and emotional wellbeing long after the relationship itself has changed or ended.

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.

Further information
Alongside my clinical work, I have contributed to psychological research at London South Bank University, including research exploring attachment, intimate relationships, infidelity and child development.
My wider experience includes working with services supporting people affected by domestic abuse, homelessness and substance-use difficulties, as well as facilitating therapeutic groups and psychological wellbeing workshops.
This breadth of clinical and research experience informs how I understand people: not simply through symptoms, but in the context of their relationships, experiences, culture and the circumstances in which their difficulties developed.
