About me
HCPC accredited Counselling Psychologist offering support in-person and online.
Many of the people I work with appear outwardly capable, yet privately struggle with exhaustion, self-doubt and a sense of not being good enough. They are often very self-critical, hold themselves to high standards and feel a pressure to keep everything together, particularly within demanding roles and relationships. Therapy doesn’t need to begin in crisis. Often it starts when something feels off, even though life might look okay from the outside.
My approach is grounded in relational psychology. Our therapeutic relationship is a space to think carefully about emotional patterns, internal pressures, and ways of relating both to others and to yourself. Alongside reflection and exploration, I also support clients with practical ways of understanding and working with difficulties between sessions.
Anxiety, low mood, stress, burnout, and relational difficulties are areas in which I have extensive experience. I also offer ADHD assessments for adults and support for individuals exploring/adjusting to an ADHD diagnosis.
Starting therapy can feel like a significant step, and finding the right therapist matters. An initial consultation provides an opportunity to talk about what has brought you here and to see whether working together feels like a good fit.

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.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
British Psychological Society
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.
