About me
I offer counselling for a wide range of problems, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationships, and loss. Using a psychodynamic approach, we can work together to understand what lies beneath the surface and support meaningful, lasting change. I am a qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor, Occupational Psychologist, and Executive Coach, working both in private practice and charitable organisations in person at Saffron Walden, Essex and Online.
I also specialise in leadership development, executive coaching and organisational culture. I work with senior leaders, partners and leadership teams to develop reflective, authentic leadership that strengthens both individual performance and organisational culture.
My approach is grounded in the belief that sustainable leadership begins with the person, not simply the role. Through psychodynamically informed coaching and evidence-based psychological practice, I help leaders develop deeper self-awareness, stronger self-regulation and values-based leadership. These capabilities underpin psychological safety, better decision-making and healthier, more resilient organisations.
Alongside individual coaching, I design leadership development programmes that create a shared language for leadership and support meaningful cultural change. Using tools such as the Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ), combined with reflective practice and facilitated group learning, I help organisations build leadership cultures based on trust, integrity and authentic human connection.

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.
