About me

Starting therapy can feel like a big step — and it’s completely normal to feel unsure about where to begin. My aim and priority is to offer a space where you can feel safe, supported, and understood as we work through things together at your pace.

I’m a qualified psychotherapist with a genuine passion for helping people make sense of their experiences, reconnect with themselves, and move through life with more clarity, confidence, and resilience. I bring both professional training and a real respect for how unique each person’s story is.

I can work with you if you are facing challenges including anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, trauma (including childhood trauma), attachment and relationship issues, grief and loss, self-esteem and confidence, anger, emotional regulation, family and parenting challenges, ASD, as well as personal growth.

If you’re thinking about starting therapy, you’re very welcome to get in touch. We can have a relaxed, no-pressure chat so you can get a feel for me and how I work, sometimes that first conversation is all it takes to feel ready to get started with Therapy.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a Masters Degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I also have a Postgraduate Certificate in Interpersonal and Counselling skills and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Social Work. 

With over 12 years of experience across varying professional roles, I have supported individuals through difficult, complex and challenging life situations. My career has been dedicated to helping people navigate through some of the most complex and trying times in their lives, ensuring they receive the guidance and support they need to achieve positive outcomes.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
