Expertise

    Background

    I am a fully accredited trauma-informed practitioner registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). Since qualifying in 2011, I have had the privilege of working in a variety of settings, including private practice, the NHS, the charity sector, and occupational health.

    My approach to therapy is integrative, which means I combine different techniques and modalities to best meet your individual needs. While I work from a Person-Centred foundation, I also incorporate methods such as EMDR, CBT, Art Therapy, Inner Child work, Mindfulness, and Creative Visualisation. I understand that every person is unique, and that includes how we respond to therapy. Together, we’ll find the approach that resonates most with you, ensuring that you feel comfortable and supported throughout our work together.

    I believe that therapy should be a safe, respectful, and judgement-free space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely. From my own experience, I’ve learned that the most important thing a therapist can offer is a space to fully experience and understand difficult emotions – no matter how deep-rooted they may seem. I’m here to guide you through this process, helping you create meaningful change.

    I specialize in working with a wide range of issues, particularly trauma, bereavement, and work-related mental health challenges. Over the years, I’ve developed extensive knowledge in trauma treatment, using tools like CBT, EMDR, and the Rewind Technique to help clients process and heal from their experiences.

    What drives me in this work is my deep passion for therapy and my commitment to being a supportive presence in each client’s journey. It’s truly an honour to accompany you through these transformative moments. To ensure I’m providing the best possible care, I continue my own personal development through training and workshops—always striving to grow and refine my practice for the benefit of my clients.

    I look forward to working with you and supporting you on your path to healing.
