Life can be stressful, and I understand the feelings of anxiety, depression, and the struggle with difficult emotions. I support clients in coping with life transitions, challenging feelings and memories, and overall emotional well-being. I provide a supportive, understanding, and confidential space where you can express yourself, explore your emotions, confront your challenges, share your untold story, or make sense of the complexities in your life.
Through therapy, I help you discover healthy coping mechanisms, improve your relationships with others and yourself, and regain your sense of peace.
- Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Relationship difficulties, Difficult childhood, Struggling parenthood, Family issues, Self-esteem, Self-discovery, Grief and Loss, ADHD & ASD, addiction, abuse, shame, guilt, and anger.
- I can work with nervous system regulation, by teaching skills that empower clients to feel in control of their emotions which can be transformative for anxiety and depression.
- I guide individuals in discovering their true selves, finding their voice with authentic expression, recovering from people-pleasing behaviours, building confidence, establishing boundaries, and cultivating trust.
Experience
I currently work in private practice, I have experience dealing with trust issues, difficult childhoods, self-esteem, confidence, co-dependency, anxiety, depression, trauma, nervous system regulation, low self worth.
In the recent past I worked as a student counsellor for young people aged 16 and older. This role involves short-term therapy that covers issues such as stress, career concerns, anxiety, academic pressure, loss, grief, trauma, neurodiversity, sexuality, relationships, abuse, bullying, and self-esteem.
I also have experience working with individuals in the adult industry and an understanding of addiction recovery, including the challenges faced by adult children of alcoholics. Before this, I spent ten years as a massage therapist, focusing on pain relief, stress management, chronic illness, and cancer therapies.
What can I expect from Therapy?
You can expect a professional therapist that is relatable and honest. I believe the healing starts with a good counsellor/client relationship. Reaching out is the first commitment you make to yourself to enable change. I am open-minded and work to meet you where you are at. I believe in making it work for you. That could look like talking therapies, creative work, or movement, and it's okay if some of those things do not work for you!
Reaching out is the first commitment you make to yourself to enable change.

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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
