About me
If you are navigating a period of emotional pain, please know that you do not have to carry it alone.
With over 11 years of experience as a practicing therapist and 13 years of dedicated counselling study, I have come to understand a fundamental truth about the human experience: we will all face pain at some point in our lives. While we cannot always control or escape life's challenges, we can change how we live with them. My goal is to help you process inevitable pain so that it doesn't turn into prolonged, unnecessary suffering.
My Therapeutic Approach
I believe there is no "one-size-fits-all" cure for emotional hardship, which is why my practice focuses heavily on perspective awareness and dedicated, non-judgemental support. Finding the right therapeutic style and the right practitioner is a deeply personal process that takes time. As an active listener, I do not arrive with a checklist of rigid techniques or unsolicited advice. Instead, I offer my wholehearted commitment to truly understanding your unique story.
My approach is shaped by:
Deep Empathy: Sitting with clients who are experiencing profound suffering has taught me how to hold space for heavy emotions safely and gently.
Personal & Professional Insight: My own journey through personal therapy and self-reflection allows me to meet you with genuine authenticity, helping you explore new perspectives that lead to meaningful breakthroughs.
Compassionate Connection: Above all, my intention is to provide a collaborative space where you feel completely heard, respected, and reminded that you are not alone in your struggles.
To help you decide if I am the right therapist for your journey, I provide a free, 15-minute introductory phone consultation. This is a casual, no-obligation opportunity for us to connect and discuss how we might work together.
To schedule your call: Please send a text message to 07757935795.
I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
