About

Qualified and Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist

I am a fully qualified, accredited counsellor/psychotherapist with a master’s in psychology, and an EMDR practitioner working towards EMDR accreditation.

Curiosity for Understanding Human Behaviour and Emotion

One of life’s greatest curiosities for me is understanding what drives people’s actions and emotions. I have always been fascinated by the complexity of human nature—our drives, creativity, struggles, and what fosters resilience and joy. This led me to pursue psychotherapy, where I can explore these aspects deeply with my clients.

International Experience and Cultural Awareness

My professional journey began as a second career, and I have been offering counselling since 2018. Born in the United Kingdom, educated in Australia, and having lived in Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States, I now split my time between the UK and Germany with my multicultural family. My extensive international experience has instilled in me a deep respect for cultural differences and the importance of respecting each individual’s autonomy and subjective interpretation of the world. These values are central to how I approach my work.

Inclusive and Affirmative Practice

I am dedicated to maintaining an affirmative, inclusive, non-corrective, and non-discriminatory practice, particularly as it relates to individual experiences of ethnicity, heritage and culture, GSRD (gender, sexual, relationship diversity), neurodiversity, disability, group identity privilege and family backgrounds. My personal background as cisgendered, white, middle class, and able-bodied affords me opportunities that I recognize are not equally accessible and distributed to people who are marginalised, othered, oppressed and discriminated against in society. To address this social injustice, I am committed to educating myself about the impact of discrimination and inequality and challenging my own biases that this discrimination brings.

Professional Accreditation and Commitment to Continuous Learning

I hold accredited status with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), which confirms that I meet high standards of practice, knowledge, and experience. My Master’s degree in Psychology was awarded with Distinction, and I have Graduate Basis for Chartered membership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society, ensuring a comprehensive academic foundation. I am also working towards accreditation as an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) practitioner, focusing on supporting those who have experienced trauma and other challenging life experiences. My commitment to ongoing education ensures that I continue to grow and provide the best support for my clients.
