About me
Do you find yourself constantly analysing situations, replaying conversations, or feeling overwhelmed by things that seem easier for everyone else? Perhaps you've learned to hide how difficult things feel inside while working hard to meet others' expectations. If so, please know that you are not alone.
For many people living with depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, or other personal challenges, daily life can require an enormous amount of energy. Difficulties such as feeling misunderstood, masking who you are, managing relationships, navigating change, or simply getting through the day can leave you feeling isolated, stuck, or emotionally drained.
I offer a space where you do not have to explain or justify your experience. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing, make sense of the patterns and experiences that have shaped you, and deepen your understanding of yourself and what you need to thrive.
If any part of this resonates with you and you're curious about how therapy might help, I'd love to hear from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work with individuals from all backgrounds and life experiences. Through my clinical work within the NHS and private practice, I have developed particular experience and interest in supporting some of the areas outlined below:
• Feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or constantly trying to keep up
• Managing tasks, responsibilities, and the demands of everyday life
• Understanding emotions, needs, and patterns of thinking
• Navigating work, study, family, and relationship challenges
• Communication difficulties and feeling misunderstood by others
• ADHD, autism, and the impact of masking or living in a world not designed for you
• Anxiety, low mood, trauma, and emotional distress
• Recovering from controlling or narcissistic relationships
• Exploring identity, faith, culture, and life transitions
I believe that our experiences are shaped not only by who we are as individuals but also by the relationships, cultures, and systems we exist within.
Through therapy, we can explore how your lived experiences have influenced your identity, your understanding of yourself, and the beliefs and values you carry today.
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.

Further information
Therapy is not about fixing who you are. It's about creating the time and space to better understand yourself, the experiences that have shaped you, and what you need to thrive. As understanding grows, so can your confidence in navigating life's challenges, building meaningful relationships, and making choices that feel authentic to you.
