About me
I understand the thought of therapy might feel daunting, but it is simply a dedicated space for you – something that can be surprisingly hard to find in everyday life – where you are free to talk about whatever feels important to you.
I know it’s important to find the right fit, so I offer a free 15 minute call and you’re very welcome to book one.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Some are living with anxiety, ADHD, or the impact of past experiences. Others simply have a sense that something doesn’t feel quite right, even if they can’t explain why.
Perhaps you've spent years masking parts of yourself, putting your own needs and feelings in the background, or living with the exhaustion of a critical inner voice.
At the heart of therapy is a relationship where you can feel accepted rather than judged – a space where you can unpick your experiences with curiosity and compassion, always at a pace that feels right for you.
Therapy is not about 'fixing' you or keeping you stuck in the past, but about creating space to understand yourself more fully and make sense of how your experiences may have shaped the way you see yourself.
As your understanding grows, you may begin to see yourself with greater curiosity and self-compassion, learning to trust and value yourself more. Over time, you may begin to reconnect with parts of yourself that have been hidden, feel more confident, and find a greater sense of peace.
If you're unsure where to begin, that's okay. There's no right place to start – we can begin with whatever feels most present, at your pace.
If you feel ready to take the next step, you're very welcome to get in touch or book a free 15 minute call to find out a bit more.
What to expect:
In our work together, you can expect a calm, supportive presence in a confidential and non-judgemental space. I won't diagnose, analyse or tell you who you are. Instead, I'll listen with care, offer gentle observations when helpful, and support you in exploring your experiences in a way that feels comfortable and manageable for you – sometimes with a little humour. You're always in control of what you choose to talk about.
How I work:
My practice is grounded in humanistic therapy, and I work integratively, drawing on person-centred, Gestalt, parts-informed and drama therapy approaches where they feel helpful. Rather than expecting you to fit one model of therapy, I'll adapt to support your individuality, needs and preferences.
You may choose to talk, reflect, or explore ideas creatively. These are always invitations, never expectations. You're always free to decide what feels right for you. The therapeutic space is yours, and I'm here to walk alongside you.
Where it feels helpful, I may invite you to use imagination, metaphor, role or creative exploration to look at experiences from a different perspective. Sometimes this can make difficult thoughts, feelings or relationships feel easier to understand.
At times, we may also explore different 'parts' of yourself – perhaps the part that criticises you or tries to keep everyone else happy. Together, we can become curious about what each part may be trying to communicate and how it may have developed over time.
I may also gently encourage you to notice what is happening in the present moment, including your thoughts, feelings and body sensations. This can help us recognise patterns, deepen self-awareness and develop a greater understanding of your experiences.
Whatever approach we use, my aim is always the same: to create a space where you feel supported to explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion, developing a deeper understanding of yourself at a pace that feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified counsellor and therapist, and a registered member of the BACP (MBACP). I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and am trained to Master’s level in Counselling with children and young people (up to age 25).
I work in line with the ethical framework of the BACP, attend regular professional supervision, and am committed to ongoing Continuing Professional Development.
I have over 10 years’ experience working with adults in private practice.
I work with adults from all backgrounds. I have worked with many clients experiencing anxiety. I support those working through self-doubt and their relationship with themselves and others, including how this may be shaped by past experiences. I have supported many clients navigating or exploring ADHD. I also have experience in trauma-informed settings, including the sexual violence sector, which informs my sensitive and trauma-aware approach.
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.
