About me
Compassionate and Empathetic Counseling & EMDR Therapy for Anxiety, Low Self-Esteem, and Trauma
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by low self-esteem, or struggling to heal from past trauma? It can be difficult to navigate these challenges alone, but you don’t have to. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your feelings, work through your struggles, and begin to heal.
I specialise in helping individuals overcome:
Anxiety: Finding calm, clarity, and control in the face of overwhelming worries
Low Self-Esteem: Rebuilding confidence and a stronger sense of self-worth
Trauma: Gently processing painful experiences to foster healing and growth
As a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapist, I use this evidence-based approach to help you address and process traumatic memories safely and effectively, reduce anxiety and anxiety triggers and change in built negative self beliefs that effect the way we see and feel about ourselves. EMDR can help reduce the emotional intensity of difficult memories, enabling you to feel more grounded and at peace.
My approach is empathetic and client-centered, tailoring each session to your unique needs. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and work toward creating meaningful, lasting change.
Whether you’re seeking relief, understanding, or a path to personal growth, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
You are not alone—healing is possible. Let’s take the first step together.

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.
