About me

Hello, I am an experienced and qualified psychotherapist and counsellor. I will offer you an empathic, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk about how you are feeling and about your personal struggles.

You may be seeking support due to present circumstances and/or because of past experiences where you are feeling stuck and finding it hard to move forward in life.

The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of how I work. Through this compassionate, holding relationship you will have a space where your thoughts and feelings can be explored, to feel supported and help you understand and process your experiences. This I hope will lead to healing, personal growth and self-awareness.

I can work with you on a short term basis, or working longer term may be more suitable for your needs. We can explore what may be most helpful for you during our initial discussions.

Please feel free to look at my website to get more of a sense of me and how I work.

Training, qualifications & experience

My professional training took place at the Minster Centre over 6 years, I graduated in 2009.

Prior to this I obtained the RSA Certificate in Counselling Skills in the Development of Learning from the College of North West London in 2001.

I am experienced working with male and female clients in short term therapy or in open ended therapy. Working with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, confidence issues, childhood trauma, work-related stress and relationship issues.

I am accredited and registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)  and adhere to their professional code of ethics and standards. I am also a member of The British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).

Alongside my individual client and group work, I worked part-time for an Employment Assistance Programme as a telephone counsellor providing assessments for referral to short term counselling.

Prior to this I worked with a national mental health charity as a Services Coordinator, project lead and trainer. In addition to being an experienced trainer, after graduation I taught at the Minster Centre which is a leading psychotherapy training institute.

I have over 20 years experience of working in the voluntary/charity sector. Working with individuals and families, primarily in a supportive role but also in community development. I also have experience of setting up and delivering a counselling service.
