About me
You may be finding yourself overthinking, feeling anxious, losing confidence or struggling with emotions that seem difficult to control. Perhaps a relationship is causing you distress, something from your past continues to affect you, or you keep finding yourself caught in patterns you understand but don't seem able to change.
I work with adults and young people experiencing anxiety, trauma, low self-confidence and self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, panic, emotional overwhelm and difficult life transitions. Therapy can give you the space to understand what is happening beneath the surface, while also helping you find practical ways to feel more settled and in control.
As an integrative counsellor, I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I adapt the way I work according to you, your experiences and what you hope to gain from therapy. Our work may involve exploring emotions, past experiences and relationship patterns, alongside developing new ways of responding to what is happening in your life now.
I am also an advanced IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy) practitioner and use trauma-informed approaches including IEMT and Brainspotting where appropriate. These can be useful when difficult experiences, memories or emotional responses continue to feel particularly stuck.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, and you don't need to arrive knowing exactly what to talk about or where to begin. I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, feel heard and explore things at your own pace.
I see therapy as something we do together. My role is to work alongside you with care and curiosity, helping you understand yourself more deeply, build confidence and begin creating meaningful change in your life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP Accredited Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist with experience working within NHS psychological therapy services as well as in private practice.
I work with adults and young people experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-confidence and a range of emotional difficulties. My experience has involved supporting clients from diverse backgrounds with both longstanding difficulties and challenges arising from significant life events.
I am also an Advanced Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) Practitioner with additional training in Brainspotting. My integrative and trauma-informed approach allows me to tailor therapy to each individual, drawing on different therapeutic approaches according to your needs and what you would like to achieve from therapy.
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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I have particular experience working with trauma and the lasting impact of difficult or overwhelming experiences, including anxiety, panic, triggers, intrusive memories and feeling unsafe or on edge. I also work with low self-confidence, overthinking, fear of rejection or abandonment, people-pleasing, relationship and attachment difficulties, betrayal and relationship breakdowns.
Where appropriate, I integrate trauma-informed approaches including IEMT and Brainspotting to help clients process difficult experiences, emotional responses and patterns that can feel stuck or difficult to change.
