About me
Hi, I'm Rosie.
You're very welcome here.
I offer attachment-informed therapy and counselling to adults (18+). I have over 12 years experience supporting people with relationship difficulties, emotional patterns and the ways earlier experiences continue to influence how we relate to ourselves and others.
People come to counselling or therapy for many reasons. Some are looking for longer-term relational work, while others want short-term support around a specific issue, loss, or life transition. We can talk together about what feels most helpful for you right now.
You may feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns, struggle with closeness or fear abandonment, or you may find yourself prioritising others' needs over your own causing you to feel exhausted and depleted.
You may be facing bereavement, divorce, relationship breakdown or trying to navigate a difficult decision.
Wherever you are in your life, I will meet you there with acceptance, kindness and respect.
My approach is warm, steady and calm, with careful attention to safety, pacing and your nervous system. From an attachment perspective, I understand emotional and relational patterns as adaptations that developed for good reasons. Therapy is not about fixing or getting rid of these parts of you, but is about understanding them with kindness and creating more room for choice, safety and connection.
At it's core, my work is relational. The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a place where new experiences of trust, safety and repair can gradually emerge. You won't be rushed or pushed to talk about anything before you're ready, and you don't need to have the right words to begin.
I often work with adults who:
-feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns.
-experience anxiety in relationships, fear abandonment, rejection or engulfment.
-struggle to trust others.
-struggle with boundaries, with saying "no"or identify as "people pleasers".
-feel emotionally overwhelmed or disconnected in relationships.
-find themselves facing bereavement, relationship breakdown, divorce or other forms of loss.
-find themselves facing a major life transition or significant decision.
-struggling to cope with a chronic or life limiting illness.
Finding the right counsellor or therapist matters. If you are considering counselling, I invite you to get in touch to see whether working together might feel like a good fit.

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.
