About me

Do you ever find yourself questioning your worth, overthinking in situations, professionally or personally, or feeling like you are not quite aligned with who you truly are? If you are considering therapy, it might help you create a space to slow down, reflect and begin making sense of these experiences. Whether you are facing challenges, anxiety, or low confidence or would like to dedicate more time to yourself to facilitate personal growth, please know that you are not alone, and I can help support you. 

How I can support: 

Whether your goal is to feel more confident, create clearer communication, feel empowered, or be more authentic with yourself and others, I'm here to support you.

If any of this resonates with you, I invite you to contact me to arrange an initial free consultation. Sometimes, the first step is simply allowing yourself to be heard.

Time and Place:

I can offer flexibility regarding online or face-to-face sessions.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am an experienced and fully trained Counsellor and Psychotherapist; I work with individuals experiencing everyday challenges, depression and anxiety, and I also work with complex mental health challenges. 

My background as a personal stylist has given me a unique perspective on self-expression and identity. I integrate this experience into my therapeutic work, offering a space for inner reflection and external transformation. When these two elements work in harmony, I believe they can empower individuals to build a strong sense of self and experience lasting personal growth and confidence. 

I have experience supporting individuals who have left Strict family dynamics, religious cults or groups and abusive or difficult relationships, helping them to navigate life beyond those structures and discover their autonomy. 

I also have a keen interest in ADHD, autism and the connection between anxiety and panic and neurodiversity, I am passionate about exploring these factors to help shape emotional well-being. 

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

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).
