About me
I am an experienced, BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, offering one-to-one, open ended or short-term therapy in Cambridge for adults.
Perhaps you are experiencing heighten anxiety or struggling with a crisis, you may have experienced loss or a change in life circumstances. Sometimes there is an experience from the past that feels stuck, or a current life situation that feels overwhelming. The reasons for seeking therapy are unique in each of us but the need for support is universal.
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.
What I Offer
I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to explore what is on your mind. I take a collaborative approach, working at a pace that feels right for you. Using curiosity and open exploration to foster deeper self-awareness and emotional growth, my aim is to guide you towards the changes you are looking for.
I work from a psychodynamic perspective which means I pay close attention to how past experiences might be influencing your patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating to others in your current life.
When appropriate, I draw on my somatic-informed trauma training and incorporate this perspective in our work to help us work safely and collaboratively at a pace that feels right for you. Often this can involve breathwork and stabilisation techniques.
I have worked with adults who have sought therapy for a range of emotional difficulties including, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions and changes in life, bereavement, relationship difficulties, family or work stress, sexual abuse, and trauma.
My experience includes working in the NHS as a staff counsellor, with young adults in a charity setting and managing a team of specialist counsellors for a regional charity which offers long-term therapy to adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
Contacting me
I know it can feel daunting to take the first step and make contact. Therapy 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, where my aim is to understand what brings you to therapy. This is also an opportunity to see how it feels to work together before making the decision to continue.
Professional Standards
I follow the ethical guidelines set out by the BACP and am committed to ongoing professional development, ensuring that I offer the best support possible. You can also find my verified profile on the BACP website.
Fees
Each session, including our initial session, lasts 50 minutes and is £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.
