Therapist Biography

I’m an Integrative Therapist and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with many years’ experience in private practice and thousands of client hours working with adults, children, and young people aged 11 and above.

I work in a psychodynamic way, believing that our past experiences shape how we think, feel, and relate in the present — and that by understanding these patterns, we can create meaningful change for the future.

I have extensive experience supporting clients with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, sexual abuse, ADHD, intrusive thoughts, bereavement, relationship difficulties, disordered eating, addictive traits, neglect, and experiences of being in care. I have specialist trauma-focused training and a particular interest in developmental trauma and Complex PTSD (CPTSD), helping individuals recognise and heal long-standing emotional wounds rooted in early life experiences.

Alongside my private practice, I’m a Counselling Tutor at Heartwood College of Counselling and Psychotherapy and a specialist mental health mentor for university students.

I believe counselling has the power to bring about deep and lasting transformation. As C.S. Lewis said, “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” To me, healing means to re-cover — to gently uncover and rediscover the parts of yourself that may have been hidden, so you can truly meet yourself, perhaps for the first time.
