About me
Hello and welcome! Thank you for your interest in working with me. I work with adults over 18 on a wide range of emotional and mental health concerns, including CPTSD, trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, OCD and attachment difficulties. Clients who are diagnosed or believe they may have ADHD or Autism are a big part of my caseload, as are those who may have been described as gifted.
Counselling and psychotherapy offer a unique opportunity to support your journey towards wellbeing in a safe and confidential space, away from the usual responsibilities and distractions of life.
Having time just for you to explore your feelings, thoughts and experiences can empower you to find your own unique path towards healing and growth based on your values, strengths and what is important to you.
My clients report growing confidence and self-esteem, as well as a marked reduction in anxiety and depressive symptoms as our sessions progress.
The relationship we build together is key to facilitating this. I offer an empathic, warm, respectful and non-judgmental relationship in which I invite you to share your concerns at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you. I am down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and clients say they feel very calm and safe when working with me.
Wherever you find yourself on your journey, I am here to walk alongside you, listen and support you as you find your way towards improved mental health.
I am a fully insured BACP registered therapist with a 1st Class honours degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Prior to studying at degree level, I completed 2 years of counselling training, which I applied to two decades of work in the community with children, young people, families and older adults, where I supported people with a wide range of challenges.
I have also been a trainer in confidence and self-esteem; a writer on health, mental health and personal development topics and a maternal mental health advocate.
Alongside private work, I also work as a counsellor in secondary schools and colleges.

Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a first-class degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of East London.
I work in private practice, as well as working with Young Concern Trust in schools and colleges, and Wild Fields Therapy CIC with adults.
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.
