About me
Inner Child Healing, Reparenting & Nervous System Repair
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck repeating the same painful patterns — especially in relationships?
Perhaps you find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, criticising yourself, or shutting down when emotions become too much. Many people I work with say they understand their behaviour logically, but still feel trapped in the same cycles.
Often these patterns began much earlier in life. When childhood experiences involve emotional neglect, criticism, or unpredictability, the nervous system learns survival strategies that can follow us into adulthood.
My work focuses on helping clients understand and gently change these patterns through inner child healing, reparenting work, and nervous system regulation.
How Therapy Can Help
I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can slow down and explore your experiences without judgement.
Clients often tell me therapy becomes a turning point — where the past finally makes sense and they begin to respond to life differently.
Together we work toward:
• calming an overactive nervous system
• understanding emotional triggers and patterns
• healing childhood wounds and unmet needs
• developing self-compassion and inner safety
• building confidence and healthier relationships
My goal is not only insight, but lasting emotional change.
My Approach
I work integratively, drawing from psychodynamic therapy, person-centred counselling, schema therapy, CBT and EFT.
This means our sessions are tailored to you — your pace, your needs and your personality. Some clients prefer practical tools and exercises, while others focus more on exploration and reflection.
Much of my work focuses on inner child healing and reparenting, helping clients build the emotional skills and self-support that may not have been available earlier in life.
I also write about these topics and share articles and free resources on my website, alongside my Inner Child Healing course for those who want structured tools to support their personal growth.

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.
