About me

As a therapist, I deeply believe it's the power of a genuine, empathic connection that facilitates healing. My approach is person-centred, meaning I prioritise creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and valued. 

I strive to build a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and respect, where your perspective and experience are the central focus of our work together. I assist clients in discovering the tools and strategies to enhance their lives and foster continued growth as they rebuild for the future.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have over five years of experience working in general health organisations with the NHS. Through delivering online sessions, I have built strong connections with people from diverse backgrounds and with varying needs. I consider it a privilege and an honour to be part of such an important stage in someone’s life.

With over ten years of experience working with children, particularly those who have experienced trauma, I have the opportunity of supporting young people as they navigate the challenges of rebuilding trust and managing emotions. In this role, as well as in my private practice, I have had the privilege of working with young people facing trauma, neurodivergence, relationship challenges, and abuse.

I hold a degree in Childhood Development, followed by a Master's in Clinical Counselling. Additionally, I have expanded my expertise through continuous professional development (CPD), gaining specialized knowledge in an accelerated trauma technique which enables individuals to process PTSD.

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.

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).
