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 ever feel trapped in repeating patterns of behaviour that lead you to the same painful outcomes? Are you struggling under the weight of negative thoughts, emotions and deeply rooted beliefs that seem to hold you back? Does the voice of your inner critic overwhelm you, leaving you feeling anxious or frozen by fear? If so, I am here to listen, support and guide you as you seek to discover or reclaim the direction, purpose and joy that is missing from your life.
My approach is centred on raising your awareness and helping you identify and challenge those self defeating beliefs and habits that may be limiting your potential. By working closely together, I am confident that we can initiate a transformative journey that taps into your inherent strengths and uncover the best version of yourself using an integrated blend of tools tailored to suit your needs:
- Cognitive therapy to understand how you make meaning of your experiences.
- Somatic investigation to reveal what emotions are held in your body.
- Creative exercises to explore what unconscious processes influence your engagement with the world.
- Experiential techniques to identify what your heart yearns for.
I believe that a trusting, empathetic and inspirational relationship is central to therapy and that my role is to provide you with the compassion to make you feel fully seen and heard, the insight to understand yourself better and the tools you need to develop new perspectives and behaviours in line with the authentic life you long to live.
Each session lasts 50 minutes, and I offer the flexibility of meeting in person or via Zoom, or a combination of both. Do reach out for a free 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.

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.
