About me

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. You may be struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, or feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to change. Therapy offers a space where you can slow down, reflect and begin to understand what may be happening beneath the surface.

I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy for adults and young people. As an integrative counsellor and advanced IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy) practitioner, I draw from a range of approaches including psychodynamic, Gestalt, transactional analysis, mindfulness and Brainspotting. This allows me to tailor therapy to your individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Together we may explore emotions, experiences and relationship patterns that may be affecting how you feel today. Alongside developing insight, we may also use trauma-informed approaches such as IEMT or Brainspotting to help process difficult experiences and support deeper emotional healing. These approaches can also help regulate the nervous system and support lasting change.

I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting, especially the first session. My aim is to offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe to talk openly and be heard.

Therapy is a collaborative process and I will work alongside you with care and curiosity, supporting you to develop greater understanding, resilience and emotional wellbeing.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am an integrative counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Additionally, I have trained as an Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) practitioner, which provides an innovative and evidence-based approach to trauma resolution, unwanted memories, feelings and patterns of behaviour.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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
