About Me

Like many therapists, I came to therapy after gaining experience across different sectors, including working in business support roles within the NHS, early years, and within an organisation that supports neurodivergent individuals and their families, and then as a Service Manager for a charity that supports new parents. My journey towards becoming a therapist started with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, and then my interest was really sparked after engaging in therapy myself and seeing the positive impact it had on my life.

I am an integrative therapist, which essentially means that I draw from different theories and ways of working to work with each client as an individual. If theory is your thing, my core modalities are Person Centred, Gestalt and Psychodynamic. I work in a way that is radically non-judgemental, and I am LGBTQ+ and neuroaffirming, and sex positive in my practice. I sometimes work creatively, but I also know this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea so will always follow my client’s lead. I am a student member of the BACP and adhere to the BACP Ethical Code.

I am passionate about the connection between our minds and bodies, and I’ve seen first hand how being active and taking part in sports has supported my mental health. Having lived in the countryside my whole life, I appreciate the joys as well as the challenges of rural life.

Outside of my work, I love being outside, riding my horse, going to the gym, rugby and music.
