About me
Life certainly has its challenges, doesn’t it? And sometimes, challenges can carry the weight of painful thoughts and emotions, which often feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate. These moments of darkness and confusion can feel incredibly lonely. But healing doesn’t have to happen in isolation.
I am a humanistic therapist who offers a compassionate, non-judgemental and contained space, where together, we can explore and make sense of your experiences. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation or simply want to understand yourself better, I am here to offer you my warmth and support throughout your therapeutic journey.
What to expect
I work in a relational and collaborative way. As a Humanistic counsellor, I draw on a blend of Humanistic therapies - Person-Centred, Gestalt, and Transactional Analysis - tailoring our work to your unique needs.
Alongside this, where it feels helpful, I integrate DBT and informed skills to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance and coping, during particularly intense or overwhelming moments. I am not a DBT therapist, rather, I use DBT skills within a humanistic framework, to offer practical tools alongside deeper relational work.
I see therapy as a shared process, where we set goals together and review your progress regularly to ensure the therapy is working for you. We will always work at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
I believe you are and always will be the expert on your own life. My role is not to tell you what I think is best, but to walk alongside you as a partner in your journey. Together, we will explore and unpack your experiences, creating space for deeper understanding, emotional freedom, and a renewed sense of clarity and control over your life.

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.
