About me
If you're finding life difficult to navigate, know that you don't have to struggle alone.
1 in 4 of us will suffer from some type of mental health issue in our lifetimes. Therapy can help you understand what’s going on, heal and find real, practical ways forward.
I Work with
- Anxiety in all it's forms - general, panic, social, health, phobias
- OCD - all subcategories, including "Pure O" and BBD and BFRBs
- Depression, Low mood, disconnection and loss of motivation
- Life Changes - relationship endings, career stress, identity shifts, grief
- Self-esteem and inner critic battles — feeling “not enough,” stuck, or unsure of who you are
Mental Health Issues Can Affect Everyone
You may have been feeling like this for quite a while or on the other hand you may be highly functioning and things start to unravel. Whatever your background or stage in life, therapy helps you make sense of what's happening, how you are reacting and why. With compassion and acceptance, I work with clients to gain insight and find alternative ways to frame their experiences.
Working together we will:
- Make sense of what you are experiencing - thoughts, emotions, behaviours, nervous system responses
- Find new perspectives and interventions that will help
- Reconnect to yourself and your life - with warmth, pace and support that fits where you are.
What's Different About My Approach?
Therapy is most effective when it meets you where you are. But you also need to find an approach that helps you move from this point of pain.
I combine the evidence-based therapy, protocols and interventions that have been proven to work (including CBT)with compassionate and deeper work and body-based strategies (like breathwork and nervous system regulation).

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.
