I am a qualified counsellor with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I'm currently specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

​I am an integrative counsellor. This means that I use different techniques from different types of therapy to tailor an approach specifically for you. Whilst working mainly from a Person-Centred approach I also draw on Psychodynamic Therapy, CBT and Transactional Analysis where appropriate. I have worked with a range of clients from different backgrounds and with various issues including depression, anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, bereavement, low self-esteem, abuse (sexual & domestic violence), work difficulties and dealing with terminal illness. our sessions, my aim is to offer a safe and welcoming space where you can feel truly heard and supported. Many people find that simply having a place to talk openly, without fear of judgment, can bring a sense of relief and clarity. I approach our work together with warmth, curiosity, and respect, always recognising that you are the expert in your own life.

In sessions with me, clients often say they feel listened to, understood, and at ease. I aim to create a space that feels safe, relaxed, and free of judgement, where you can talk about whatever is on your mind. Counselling isn’t about me having all the answers – it’s about us working together, at your pace, to make sense of what’s going on for you.

My style is warm, gentle, and collaborative. I’ll listen closely to your story, and together we’ll explore what matters most to you. Sometimes that means looking at patterns or emotions that keep showing up, and other times it’s about focusing on practical ways to cope day-to-day. I try to keep sessions grounded and real, balancing reflection with practical support so you can take small, meaningful steps forward.

What I hope to bring to our work is a genuine connection – someone who sits alongside you without judgement, offering encouragement and perspective when you need it. My aim is for you to leave counselling with a stronger sense of yourself, more tools to lean on, and a little more hope for the road ahead.

My background is in Psychology in which I have an MSc and BSc. I lectured and taught psychology for many years and during my time in education I was a pastoral tutor to students aged 14-18. In this role I supported students experiencing many types of challenges and problems including anxiety, self-harm, sexual health issues, sexual dilemmas, domestic problems, cyberbullying and relationship problems.
