About me
Fed up with feeling stuck in the same patterns? Tired of overthinking, putting everyone else first, or wondering why you keep ending up back in the same place?
Maybe you know something needs to change, but you’re not quite sure where to start. Or perhaps life has changed in ways you didn’t expect and you’re struggling to find your way through it.
That’s where therapy can help.
I work with adults aged 18+ from my practice in Rendlesham, Suffolk, with face-to-face appointments available including Saturdays. I also offer sessions on Zoom or by phone.
I work with all sorts of things — anxiety, low mood, relationships, confidence, difficult experiences, grief, big life changes, feeling overwhelmed, or simply that nagging sense that something isn’t quite right. You don’t need to arrive with everything neatly worked out. You can simply start with what’s happening for you right now, and we’ll take it from there.
I also have a particular interest in working with people experiencing ADHD, particularly when you’re trying to make sense of yourself and your experiences in a world that doesn’t always seem designed for the way your brain works.
Perhaps you’re struggling with overwhelm, procrastination, emotional regulation, relationships, motivation or the constant feeling that you should be doing more. Maybe you’ve spent years wondering why things that seem easy for other people can feel so difficult for you. Therapy can be a space to understand yourself without the judgement and shame that can build up when you’ve spent a lifetime feeling like you’re somehow getting things “wrong”.
I also have a particular interest in working with people experiencing perimenopause and menopause. It can be a surprisingly unsettling time. You might find yourself feeling anxious, tearful, angry or exhausted in ways that don’t feel like you. Maybe your confidence has taken a knock, your relationships feel different, or you’re asking yourself, “What on earth has happened to me?”
Therapy can give you somewhere to talk — without having to minimise experiences or simply feeling you have to “get on with it”.
I’m not a fan of psychobabble, either. I want therapy to feel like a genuine conversation with someone who is interested in you and what makes you tick, rather than being talked at or given a list of things you’re supposed to do.
We’ll take the time to understand what’s happening, including some of the patterns that may have been around for a long time. Together, we can look at what’s keeping those patterns going and what you might want to do differently.
My aim is that you leave therapy not just feeling better understood, but understanding yourself better too — your needs, your patterns, your strengths and what you’re capable of.
You don’t have to have it all figured out before you come. You can simply start where you are.

Training, qualifications & experience
I have a First-Class BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and I’m a Registered Member of the BACP.
Over the years, I’ve worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds, ages and life experiences. No two people are the same, which is why I don’t believe therapy should be a one-size-fits-all approach.
My integrative training means I can draw from different therapeutic approaches and adapt the way we work to suit you and what you need. My practice includes Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
I’m interested in understanding not just what is happening for you now, but also how you got here — including the experiences, relationships and patterns that may be influencing the way you think, feel and respond today.
I’m fully insured, undertake regular clinical supervision and keep my knowledge and skills up to date through ongoing Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
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.
