About me
Perhaps you're feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed or stuck, or finding that the same difficulties keep appearing in your life or relationships. You may be struggling with self-esteem, stress, loss, trauma, sexuality or intimacy, or going through a significant change in your life. Sometimes it can simply be difficult to understand why you feel the way you do or why familiar patterns keep repeating.
Whatever brings you to therapy, you don't have to work through it alone.
I am an experienced UKCP accredited psychotherapist working online with adults and couples across the UK. I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, understand yourself and your relationships more deeply, and begin to find a way forward.
How I can help
I work with a wide range of emotional and relationship difficulties, including:
• Anxiety, stress and feeling overwhelmed
• Depression, low mood and loneliness
• Relationship and intimacy difficulties
• Low self-esteem and lack of confidence
• Trauma and difficult past experiences
• Bereavement, loss and significant life changes
• Burnout, perfectionism and work-related stress
• Sexuality, sexual wellbeing and psychosexual difficulties
I also have particular experience working with men's mental health and LGBTQ+ clients. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirmative and welcoming of different sexualities, gender identities and relationship styles.
Alongside individual therapy, I work with couples experiencing difficulties with communication, intimacy, conflict, trust, sex or changes within their relationship.
How I work
My approach is humanistic, relational and integrative. This means I don't believe that one type of therapy suits everyone. Instead, I adapt how I work according to you, what brings you to therapy and what you need from our work together.
My core training draws on Person-Centred Therapy, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis, alongside attachment and psychodynamic perspectives. Our work can help you understand how past experiences may continue to influence you while also paying attention to what is happening in your life and relationships now.
The relationship between us is an important part of therapy. I aim to offer a space where you can feel genuinely heard and accepted, while also being appropriately challenged to explore things from different perspectives.
I also offer therapeutic coaching for people who want a more focused approach to personal or professional development, decision-making, confidence, change or burnout.
Online therapy across the UK
I work online with clients throughout the UK, using secure video appointments. Online therapy offers the flexibility to attend sessions from a private space at home or work without the need to travel.
Both daytime and evening appointments are available.
Taking the first step
Finding the right therapist is important, and I understand that contacting someone for the first time can feel daunting.
I therefore offer a free 30-minute initial video consultation. This gives us an opportunity to talk about what brings you to therapy, what you would like help with and whether working together feels right.
There is no obligation to continue afterwards.
If you would like to explore working together, please click 'Email me' and we can arrange a mutually convenient time for an initial conversation.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

Further information
Once you’ve contacted me, either by email or telephone, we’ll arrange a suitable time for your free initial session. This session is an opportunity for you to ask questions, explore how you feel about working together, and gain insight into what brings you to therapy.
If we decide to move forward, we’ll then schedule regular 50-minute sessions each week, at a time that suits you. During the first six weeks, we’ll regularly review our work to ensure it’s supporting your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
I am committed to being with you every step of the way, offering my full support throughout your therapeutic journey.
