About me

 An empathic, caring approach is central to the counselling and therapy I offer. As a registered Integrative Psychotherapist, I am trained in several therapeutic approaches and work with clients to see which most suits their needs.

 I offer face to face and online counselling and psychotherapy for those difficulties that we can experience in our daily lives and also for anxiety, depression, bereavement and I have specialised experience offering trauma recovery therapy. I also offer counselling and therapy for anxiety in pre and post-pregnancy. I have many years experience within the NHS supporting adults who are facing health challenges and I have also clinically led a trauma therapy service.

As an experienced UKCP registered psychotherapist (full clinical membership), I offer both short and longer-term counselling and psychotherapy, which is always guided by a person's needs and goals.

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss what you would like from counselling or therapy and to see if I am the right therapist for you.
