About me
I am a fully qualified and experienced practitioner offering a warm, safe and confidential space for you to talk about issues that are causing you problems or worries. I have my own private practice which is based in the beautiful Lotus Therapy on Nottingham Rd in Mansfield.
It can be a very difficult decision to come for counselling, you may have asked yourself lots of questions before getting to this stage - and rightly so, as it is very important that you feel comfortable and safe and that you trust the counsellor you choose.
What is counselling?
Counselling provides an opportunity, which we don't always have, to share problems and feelings that are causing us upset or distress. It can be difficult to talk to friends and family as they are sometimes too close and we may feel we are being judged by them, even if they don't mean to make us feel that way.
As a person centred counsellor I can help and support you to work through these feelings in a safe and accepting environment. You will feel listened to and not judged and hopefully we will be able to work together to find solutions to your problems or just acceptance of your thoughts.
People come to counselling for lots of different reasons, some of these can be issues with family or relationships. These types of issues are especially difficult to discuss with people we know. Depression and anxiety can cause us to feel very low and it can be hard to find a way out of it on our own. Issues around anger can cause problems in all our relationships and I can help you to find out why you feel anger and help to find ways to manage these overwhelming feelings.
I see people of all ages and with lots of different issues, such as bereavement, anxiety, sexual abuse, anger management issues, depression, eating disorders, low self esteem, trauma related issues and relationship issues.
Couples/Relationship Counselling
Our work together will focus on building a trusting, safe relationship, being able to talk openly and honestly with each other. The work encourages open communication and is an opportunity to explore difficulties in relationships, helping to find ways to understand each other and work through any conflicts.
Sometimes we can leave things until they reach crisis point in relationships but couples therapy can also help if things are feeling a bit stale and you are feeling your relationships needs an MOT!
Clinical Supervision
I work with qualified and trainee counsellors to create together an open and honest environment where professionals feel comfortable to discuss and be supported in their work and to know that all aspects can be discussed without judgement.
About me
I came into counselling when I was working as an admin manager and had to do a lot of supervision sessions. I realised that my colleagues were bringing a lot of personal issues to the sessions and realised I needed a little bit more expertise to help them and support them in the right way. I decided to do a counselling course, loved it, was amazed by the benefits of it and decided to change my career.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified Person Centred Counsellor integrated with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) with many years experience..
I have lots of experience and mainly work with many different issues, such as, depression, bereavement, anger issues, anxiety and physical and sexual abuse as well as work related, trauma and relationship issues.
However, I also have significant experience of working with children and young people, presenting with lots of issues such as low self esteem, anxiety, self harm and bullying. I have also worked with young people on the autistic spectrum.
I have previously worked in a local Learning Centre on a part time basis offering counselling to young people with very chaotic and traumatic backgrounds, helping them to understand and sometimes accept their past, helping them to move towards a more fulfilling future. I also offer therapeutic counselling sessions at Queen Elizabeth's Academy in Mansfield to young people from the ages of 11 to 18 years of age.
I also worked for Talkzone who take referrals from age 16 to 26. My first placement was with Nottinghamshire County Council's Young People's Counselling Service where I worked with young people from 10 - 19 years of age.
I have also worked on a voluntary basis with ISAS (Incest and Sexual Abuse Survivors).
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and work to their ethical framework. I have regular supervision sessions and am committed to personal and professional development.
I am fully insured for public and professional liability.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
