About me
If you’re experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, or feeling lost, I recognise how overwhelming it can be to navigate your way through these difficult experiences. Whether you're struggling with family dynamics, low self-esteem, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others, it can be hard to know where to begin. My aim is to offer a safe, non-judgemental space where you can freely express your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Depression, People Pleasing, Body image, Relationships, Trauma, Bereavement, Work-related stress, Loss, Worry, Self Esteem, Burn out, Personal development, Family issues, Abusive relationships, Narcissistic abuse & Self-worth.
My approach is client centred as I believe you are the expert in your own life. I utilise a wide range of tools & techniques tailored to your individual needs and a range of modalities which include:
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

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.
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.
