About me
My Journey in Therapeutic Work
Born into a family dedicated to mental health, my career traverses diverse sectors, including the dynamic realm of the creative arts. Beginning in local councils, I ventured into the arts with an ambitious vision of societal transformation. However, recognising the need for direct support, I transitioned to therapy to guide individuals through life's complexities, drawing from my unique experiences in the creative world.
How I Can Help You
As a therapist with a background in the arts and an understanding of the gig economy, I specialise in supporting people navigating challenges like low mood, low self-esteem, anxiety, and relationship issues. Drawing from my experiences, I offer a compassionate space to foster self-understanding and self-compassion while utilising evidence-based CBT strategies tailored to your needs.
What to Expect from Therapy with Me
In our collaborative sessions, we'll employ CBT techniques to explore and reframe thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Together, we'll challenge unhelpful patterns and develop personalised strategies to cultivate healthier ways of thinking and behaving. We'll build confidence and resilience through cognitive restructuring and behavioural experiments, empowering you for a fulfilling life.

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.
