About me
I'm Tori, and I care deeply about the people I work with. I run a practice focused on understanding the root cause behind emotional and mental patterns. Together, we explore how you’ve learned to survive, whether those strategies are still serving you, and what becomes possible when they’re understood. I prefer to work at depth and at length, rather than focusing on symptoms and offering short term relief.
My beliefs
I believe we all make sense. All of us. Every thought, emotion, behaviour, and protective part has a story that deserves to be witnessed before being released or replaced. Even the patterns that now feel stuck often began as intelligent adaptations to your life experience.
Who I work with
Clients often come to me with challenges around anxiety, menopause, OCD, relationships, low self confidence, trauma, burnout, physical impairment, ADHD, imposter syndrome, affairs or betrayals and loneliness. I offer a space where exploration is welcomed and transformation is always a very real possibility.
My specialist interests are in root cause healing, spirituality, self awareness and intergenerational trauma.
Our relationship
The relationship we build matters. Your trust in me matters. When two people truly connect the click is unmistakable and in therapy it’s no different. Whether it develops slowly or quickly, I invite the authentic version of who you are and I will bring the same.
Therapy with me will be gentle, but also at times challenging and intense.

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.

What you can expect
My approach is highly intuitive, informed by a deep curiosity about you and the stories you carry about yourself. I believe when we understand ourselves differently, we begin to experience ourselves differently. Change sticks when we transition beyond thinking about it and begin to embody it.
