About me
You may be seeking therapy with a clear idea of the difficulty, such as making sense of an experience from the past that feels stuck, or a current life situation that seems too challenging or complicated. Or maybe you are feeling a bit lost or overwhelmed at present and are wondering if talking things through in therapy can bring some clarity.
Counselling can provide the space to be really listened to, with care and without judgement. It can help you to increase your understanding of yourself, to find new ways to respond to life’s challenges or to make the changes you wish to make, so you can live your life as you would want to.
Training, qualification & experience
I am an experienced, BACP Accredited, Counsellor and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist. I offer short or long-term in-person sessions, for adults, in Cambridge, in Huntingdon and online.
My core approach is Psychodynamic and I draw on my somatic-informed trauma therapy training to ensure that my work is trauma informed. I utilise approaches such as attachment theory and CBT in the work depending on your needs.
Outside of my practice, I have a range of experience gained from working in various clinical and counselling settings including in the NHS as a staff counsellor, counselling young adults and in managing a team of specialist counsellors for a regional charity that offers long-term therapy to adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
I have the experience of working with clients from different walks of life and backgrounds and with diverse life circumstances. Clients have come to see me for various difficulties including anxiety and panic attacks, depression, low self-esteem, transitions and changes in life, bereavement, relationship difficulties, family or work stress, disordered eating and abuse and trauma.
In therapy, I pay attention to what may be going on under the surface and to ways past experiences can shape our current lives. My aim is to develop a therapeutic relationship that is collaborative. Together we can explore the source of your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, to help us understand how this is impacting your life in the present.
When working with clients who are seeking therapy following history of trauma or a traumatic experience, I incorporate a trauma informed perspective in helping us to work collaboratively and safely.
Contacting me
I know it can feel daunting to take the first step and make contact. Counselling can make a difference, but it is important to find the right therapy for you and a way of working together that makes sense to you.
If you would like to explore working together, I offer an initial appointment, either online, or in person in Cambridge or in Huntingdon, where my aim is to identify how counselling might best help you. This is also an opportunity to see how it feels to work together before making the decision to continue.
Each session, including our initial session, lasts 50 minutes and is charged at £60.
Please contact me if you wish to discuss any questions, or if you would like to book an initial appointment.

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.
