About me
Perhaps you’re going through a difficult period, feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or simply not quite yourself. You may be struggling in your relationships, questioning your direction in life, feeling critical of yourself, or finding yourself caught in patterns that you don’t fully understand. Whatever has brought you to therapy, you don’t have to make sense of it all on your own.
I offer a warm, thoughtful, and non-judgemental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what you are experiencing. I believe therapy is an opportunity not only to work through what is difficult, but to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the ways you relate to others, an understanding that can continue to support you beyond therapy.
My approach is psychodynamic, so we may explore both what is happening in your life now and how your earlier experiences and relationships may have shaped the way you see yourself and navigate the world. Understanding these patterns can help us make sense of why we respond in certain ways and create space for something different.
I see therapy as a collaborative process and will work alongside you. My hope is that, over time, you can develop greater self-awareness, self-compassion and freedom to make choices that feel more meaningful to you. My practice is queer-affirming, and I welcome people of all sexualities, gender identities, and relationship structures.
Clients have described me as warm, gentle, and supportive. I aim to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel genuinely seen, while also having the space to explore difficult things honestly and at your own pace.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MA in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
My therapeutic training is psychodynamic, with a particular focus on understanding how early experiences and relationships can influence our emotional lives, relationships and patterns of behaviour in the present. I also draw on other psychological approaches where appropriate, tailoring the work to the individual needs of each client.
I have over 15 years of professional experience across counselling, psychology, education, healthcare and corporate settings. I am also a qualified teacher and have worked in education teaching Psychology. This experience has given me a broad understanding of human development, relationships, learning and the different pressures people can experience throughout their lives.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and reflective practice, ensuring that my work remains thoughtful, ethical and grounded in current therapeutic practice.
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).
