About me

Availability

I work with adults across the UK through online/face-face therapy and currently have availability.

About Me and My Therapy Practice

I offer a free 15-minute phone call consultation.

I’m a qualified BACP counsellor dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate space to explore thoughts and feelings. Therapy builds trust, curiosity, and connection. I support you in reconnecting with your authentic self, deepening your self-understanding, and living in line with your values.

Experience

My background includes work with workplace conflicts, interpersonal issues, vulnerable families, sexual violence, and addiction, which deepens my understanding of trauma, relationships, early experiences, and emotional well-being. I strive to create a space where clients feel heard and respected and can explore at their own pace. Many coping mechanisms develop for understandable reasons. Therapy helps you explore them, understand their roots, and assess whether they support the life you prefer.

My Approach

As an integrative therapist, I combine relational, person-centred, and psychodynamic approaches to meet your needs. We explore your experiences with compassion, curiosity, and understanding.

A relational approach highlights how connections shape us, while the therapeutic space lets you feel heard, understood, and accepted.

My person-centred approach centres you, helping you explore what matters at your pace. Psychodynamic therapy examines how past experiences influence your emotions, behaviours, and self-view.

I also value the role of culture, family, identity, and social influences, providing an open, compassionate space to explore these aspects.

Practice Description

Guided by your goals and reasons for therapy, we explore childhood, relationships, family, work challenges, identity, culture, emotions, and patterns that affect your life.

Therapy isn't about fixed formulas or simple answers. It's a collaborative process in which understanding grows through our relationship. My role isn't to define you but to support you as you explore, recognise your strengths, and deepen self-understanding.

We Can Explore

These are possible starting points for our work together. We can follow what feels most important to you and explore your experiences at a pace that feels right.

  • Feeling low, hopeless, overwhelmed, or having thoughts of suicide.
  • Exhausted by pressure, expectations, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or ongoing demands.
  • Dealing with emotions after a breakup, loss, diagnosis, trauma, or major life changes.
  • Processing trauma related to rape, violence, abuse, or experiences affecting safety, trust, and relationships.
  • Recognising relationship patterns, over-giving, losing touch with personal needs, or struggles with boundaries.
  • Exploring identity, belonging, culture, self-acceptance, self-compassion, and feeling different or hiding parts of yourself.
  • Understanding triggers, managing emotions, and finding healthier self-care strategies.

How Can I Help

Clients describe me as warm, approachable, and genuinely interested in understanding their experiences. I offer a confidential, non-judgmental space where you're accepted, heard, and supported. Together, we develop self-awareness, explore patterns, build resilience, and create change. I provide compassion, curiosity, and challenge to help you understand yourself.

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.

My First Session

Free 20-minute online introductory consultation.

The introductory consultation gives us the opportunity to explore what has brought you to therapy, discuss how I work, answer any questions you may have, and consider whether we feel like the right fit to work together.

I encourage you to notice how you feel during and after our conversation, as finding the right therapeutic relationship is an important part of the process.

If this is your first time looking for a therapist, or you are unsure how to choose the right person to work with, it can be helpful to reflect on questions such as:

  • How does it feel to share your experiences and story with me?
  • Do you feel heard, understood, and met with compassion?
  • Do you feel comfortable asking questions and expressing what you need?
  • Do my responses feel genuine, respectful, and relevant to your experiences?

Finding the right therapeutic relationship is an important part of therapy. If you are here, you have already taken a meaningful first step towards seeking support.

You do not have to navigate the next steps alone.

Whether you are looking for healing, greater self-understanding, or a space where you can simply be yourself without judgement, I would be honoured to work alongside you as we explore what matters most to you.
