Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in education, media, and learning & development. I’ve also run a global company, so I understand the real-world pressures of business, leadership, and supporting teams, and the impact these challenges can have on wellbeing.

Like most people, I’ve experienced my own share of life's challenges. While your story may be different from mine, I believe adversity can shape us in powerful ways, building resilience, empathy, self-awareness, and a clearer sense of what truly matters.

As a childless stepmum to three, I also understand the complexities of blended family life, including the challenges, frustrations, and isolation that can sometimes accompany the role. This experience has deepened my appreciation for healthy boundaries, self-care, and the importance of allowing others the space to learn through natural consequences.

With over a decade of experience, I bring a grounded, integrative approach to therapy, supervision, and psychotherapeutic coaching. My work combines clinical psychotherapy with trauma-informed practice, somatic and creative approaches, allowing me to tailor support to each individual's needs.

I originally trained in person-centred counselling and psychotherapy through a BACP-accredited degree programme and have continued to deepen my practice through ongoing professional development in trauma, EMDR-informed practice, NLP, neurodiversity, somatic healing, sexuality and sexual identity, relationship diversity, intimacy challenges and complex emotional landscapes.

I’ve worked with adults, young people, families, education professionslas, and practitioners, supporting issues including trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, identity, grief, emotional regulation, and relationship and intimacy difficulties.

What matters most, however, isn't the list of qualifications or approaches. It's how I use them. Having sat in the client's chair myself, I understand how vulnerable, challenging, and transformative this process can be. I know first-hand how much life can change when we begin living more authentically and in alignment with who we truly are.

I bring warmth, curiosity, intuition, groundedness, and the right amount of challenge and humour. My aim is to help you understand yourself more deeply, shift what feels stuck, and move towards a life that feels more balanced, connected, and genuinely your own.
