About me
You might be struggling or feeling overwhelmed or stuck in your life. Maybe you feel like something is missing, or there is past trauma, maybe you feel sad or angry, or you’re in the middle of difficult life changes. Maybe you don’t feel like you’re enough.
You might have constantly struggled with feeling different or misunderstood.
Self understanding leads to self acceptance and this gives you choices about how you live with aspects of yourself that you want to understand better or you want to change.
Work with me:
I provide a space for you to talk freely through your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. I won’t offer advice or tell you what to do, but by listening deeply we can understand more about what’s keeping you stuck or unhappy, or simply tired out. Talking to someone trained to listen and who can understand you can be a huge relief.
I’m an experienced, fully qualified, registered and accredited BACP Psychodynamic psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor. My therapeutic work is also Jungian informed and these approaches help you think at depth about where you are in your life and your difficulties. I’m very experienced with young adults (18+), Highly Sensitive People and neurodiverse people.
Online therapy gives an option for those who are mobility limited, living with chronic illness, or if you simply prefer your own space.
I also work with clients to like to express themselves in all forms of creativity.
Depending on your needs I can provide the following:-
- Short to medium term counselling.
- Longer term psychotherapy.
I offer Clinical Supervision - please contact me for any availability.

Training, qualifications & experience
I'm fully qualified and experienced with an MA in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy (University of Leicester).
I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist informed by Psychodymamic Analytical theory, and I'm also Jungian informed.
I'm a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and work within their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.
I trained in SDS Accreditation in Clinical Supervision, Level 2 (Assessed Academic Competence). I have completed advanced supervision training with the British Psychoanalytic Foundation.
I undertake continuing professional development to keep up to date with current research and developments in clinical practice, usually up to 100 hours per year.

I have extensive experience working online as well as in-person.
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.
