About Me

I’m a BACP-registered Counselling Psychologist in the UK and an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist. I genuinely love the work I do. I mainly work with people who are functioning well in their daily lives but want to better understand themselves, strengthen their emotional wellbeing, or work through specific psychological concerns.
