About me
“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and the power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our happiness,” Viktor Frankl
Do you find yourself caught in recurring patterns that leave you feeling stuck despite your best efforts? You may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or held back by self-doubt. Perhaps you have emotional difficulties, challenges in your work or relationships, or a relentless pressure to cope, achieve, or get things right. You may even understand your difficulties intellectually yet still find yourself repeating the same painful reactions and behaviours. If so, therapy can help you identify the often hidden beliefs, emotional reactions and ways of thinking that shape your experience and so create new possibilities for change.
My aim is to help you develop a deeper awareness of the patterns that organise your life. Together, we will explore how dispositions like anxiety, self-criticism, avoidance, people-pleasing, or perfectionism may have developed as understandable responses to earlier experiences and where they may no longer be serving you. Through open dialogue, creative exploration, and attention to the connection between mind and body, we will work towards better self-understanding and self-trust so that you have greater agency over your life choices.
I believe that a trusting, collaborative relationship is central to successful therapy. My role is to help you feel fully seen and understood, while offering the insight and support needed to create meaningful change. By bringing awareness to recurring patterns without judgment, I help clients develop a more compassionate and sustainable relationship with themselves, allowing them to live, work, and relate with greater authenticity and fulfilment.
Each session lasts 50 minutes, and I offer the flexibility of meeting in person or via Zoom, or a combination of both. I also offer a free initial consultation.

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.

Further information
I have particular interest and experience in treating clients from the creative industries, having worked as a counsellor specialising in actors and musicians at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
Previously, I directed documentaries for TV, where I gained valuable insight into the complexities and problems of performing in the public eye.
Before that, I was a solicitor specialising in media law, so I have a long-standing relationship with and understanding of fame and the entertainment industry.
