About me
I am an accredited psychotherapist specialising in EMDR for attachment‑related trauma, complex developmental histories, and high‑functioning adults. My background includes extensive work in residential addiction and trauma services, where I have supported clients through acute crisis, long‑term recovery, and deep therapeutic change.
I work particularly well with men who appear outwardly successful but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected internally. My approach integrates EMDR, somatic awareness, and trauma‑informed relational work to help clients resolve long‑standing patterns, improve emotional regulation, and build a more secure sense of self.
Alongside my clinical practice, I have held senior operational and leadership roles in specialist treatment settings, giving me a strong understanding of psychological risk, resilience, and the pressures faced by people in demanding careers.
I offer a grounded, collaborative, and evidence‑based therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences safely and work towards meaningful, lasting change.
I am a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and have been qualified since 2018 after a 3 year training.
I also offer supervision to other therapists, whether experienced or in training.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
