About me

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. With so many therapists out there, you might wonder how you’re meant to choose. It can feel like a big decision, especially if you’re already carrying a lot.

I offer to meet you exactly where you are. No expectations, no pressure, no need to have the “right” words. Just you, as you are, and space for us to explore how you see the world and what's going on for you. 

I’m a fully qualified, trauma‑informed Integrative Therapist and a registered member of the BACP (MBACP).

I genuinely believe we’re all works in progress. Life shifts, things happen, and sometimes we just need a bit of extra support along the way.

Humans are incredibly resilient, and I’m continually moved by the ways people adapt, heal, and grow through even the toughest experiences. 

A big part of my work is helping people become more aware — their feelings, their patterns, their reactions to life’s twists and turns — and then help them to navigate those reactions with more understanding and compassion. 


“Without awareness we are not truly alive.” 
— James Bugental 


You don’t have to wait until everything feels like it’s falling apart to come to therapy. People come to therapy because something feels off, or because they want to understand themselves more deeply. But if you are in crisis, or have deeper issues, you’re just as welcome. There is no wrong time, nor for that matter, are there ideal conditions. Being human can be messy. Come as you are.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am qualified with an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling with over 450 hours in practice.

As part of my training I volunteered as a counsellor with an agency that specialises in complex issues regarding addiction and trauma from 2021 – 2024.

I have undertaken further CPD training around anxiety, trauma and the living body, shame, domestic abuse, safeguarding and addiction.

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
