About me

Grief changes you. When my mum died, I found myself navigating a kind of loss that didn’t fit neatly into words, the kind that reshapes your identity, confidence and the way you move through the world. That experience deeply informs the way I work today and is one of the reasons I specialise in supporting people through grief in all its forms.

I work with bereavement, relationship loss, identity loss, childhood grief and anticipatory grief. Grief often appears alongside anxiety, low self-confidence, overwhelm or a sense of being stuck. For some people, grief interacts with ADHD, neurodiversity or long-standing fears and phobias, making everyday life feel even more difficult. I help clients explore these experiences with honesty, depth and compassion.

Alongside my therapeutic work, I have a corporate career. This gives me a real understanding of the pressures, expectations and internal conflicts that come with professional life - especially when you’re trying to perform at a high level while quietly struggling inside. Many of my clients are navigating career transitions, burnout, identity shifts or personal growth that feels both necessary and frightening.

My style is direct, reflective and exploratory. I won’t rush your process or offer quick fixes. Instead, I help you look beneath the surface - exploring the emotions, beliefs and patterns that shape your experience. Therapy with me is collaborative: we explore what feels painful, what feels stuck and what feels possible. I work at your pace, offering gentle challenge when it’s helpful and steadiness when things feel overwhelming.

Whether you’re grieving, questioning your identity, managing ADHD-related stress, struggling with anxiety or rethinking your career or relationships, therapy can help you make sense of what’s happening inside you and move forward in a way that feels authentic. My practice is inclusive and welcoming to clients from all backgrounds, including those who may not have felt comfortable seeking support before.

If you’re ready to talk, I offer a grounded, non-judgemental space where you can explore your experience openly and begin to rebuild in a way that feels true to you.

As a first step I offer a free, 15-minute introductory call.

There is no obligation to book a full session, it's simply a chance for us to chat, for you to see how it feels to talk with me, and to decide if we are a good fit. Click the "Book intro call" button above to find a time that works for you. I look forward to meeting you exactly as you are.

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.
