About me

Approach

My approach is integrative/relational and trauma-informed – drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic and systemic ways of working – which means I meet you as a whole person, bringing curiosity and care to whatever you carry, rather than fitting you into one fixed method.

I understand, on a personal level, the pain of family estrangement and the hope of reconciliation. This gives me a genuine, lived understanding of clients navigating difficult ruptures with those close to them, including the experience of being cut off or ghosted.

I have a particular interest in how our early relationships and family patterns continue to shape us, and in the connection between body and mind. I work with care, presence, and honesty, and I believe healing happens in a relationship where you feel truly seen and listened to.

I welcome adults bringing a wide range of life struggles, relationship difficulties, or a wish for deeper self-understanding. I am LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity inclusive.

Background

I bring over 20 years of experience supporting people through life coaching, Family Constellations facilitation, and mindfulness work, and have been in full-time private practice since 2015. This rich background, alongside my counselling training, gives me a uniquely broad and human understanding of what helps people grow.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Additional information

My fees range from £50 to £90 per session. I value my work at £90, but I understand this isn't affordable for everyone, so I offer sessions on a sliding scale. To help you decide if we're a good fit, I offer a free 10 - 20 minute chat by phone or video call, and your first session is always £50.

Key details

DBS check

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

At a couple of locations in Oxford, wheelchair users can access my therapy space.
