About me
Are you someone who feels deeply, thinks a lot, and senses that something is holding you back, even if you can’t quite name what it is? Maybe you’ve done therapy before, talked through the past, understood the patterns… and yet the same things keep playing out, or something feels stuck.
I offer a warm, gentle, and deeply compassionate space where you can explore what really matters to you, mind, body, and soul. I often work with deeply thoughtful, sensitive women who feel like they’re carrying the weight of the world. Women who may look calm and capable on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, stuck in old roles, or unsure of who they truly are, or what they truly want, after a lifetime of people-pleasing.
Wherever you are, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Change and healing are absolutely possible for you, and all you need to do is bring your whole self, exactly as you are.
As a fully qualified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 1 therapist, I work gently and holistically, supporting you to understand and heal the different “parts” of you, like the inner critic, the perfectionist, or the people-pleaser. Together, we’ll explore how these parts have helped you survive and succeed, and how you might begin to release the burdens they carry. This gentle yet powerful work can support you to change old patterns that no longer serve you, so that you can live with more ease, clarity, and self-compassion.
Alongside IFS and traditional talking therapy, I offer creative tools like art, journaling, sandtray, and mindfulness to help you connect more deeply with yourself, or for when words aren’t enough.
No matter what challenges you may be facing, or what approach works best for you, I believe in the power of real, authentic relationships to support healing and change. That's why I avoid one-size-fits-all “solutions” and always bring my whole, down-to-earth, and very human self to our sessions!
So if you're ready to begin, or continue, your healing journey, and you're curious about working with me, I'd love to hear from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
Before starting my private practice, I worked in a range of local and national organisations, including Mind, the Samaritans, psychiatric hospitals, and outpatient settings. These experiences gave me a deep respect for the many different ways that pain can show up, and the many different paths to healing.
Along the way, I’ve developed my own warm, creative, and holistic approach to therapy. I now work primarily through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), combined with creative tools like sandtray, art, and journaling. My work is grounded in both my professional training and lived experience, and always tailored to meet you where you are, at your own pace.
I hold an MSc in Counselling Children, Young People and Families from the University of Northampton, a BSc in Psychology from Kingston University, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Therapeutic Play and Creative Arts. I’m a fully qualified Level 1 IFS Therapist, a registered SandStory Therapist, and a certified Rewind Practitioner for trauma work.
Alongside one-to-one sessions, I also run workshops, courses, and trainings in creative, therapeutic approaches, offering spaces for reflection, connection, and deeper self-understanding.
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.

Additional information
I understand that the cost of therapy can be a barrier for some, and so I offer a limited number of lower cost sessions based on individual circumstances. Please do contact me for further information.
I offer a free, introductory 15-minute chat, allowing you to discuss the issues you'd like to focus on and to decide if I'm the right fit for you as a therapist. If you’re feeling called to get in touch, please do. I’d be so happy to speak with you.
