About me

I am a fully qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Hypnotherapist, offering a safe, calm, confidential and non-judgemental space for you for therapy to take place. I work with adults in a pluralistic way using a wide range of therapy methods, including: 

  • Person Centred
  • Psychodynamic 
  • Gestalt 
  • Transactional Analysis 
  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
  • Hypnotherapy 

I am a natural warm empath, meaning you will feel confident and comfortable opening up to me about what is bothering you. I build rapport quickly and work in a solution focussed way, adapting my working style to meet your needs. 

I am fully insured and have an enhanced DBS check. I am a member of The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and The National Hypnotherapy Society and adhere to their Code of Ethics. 

Prior to my counselling training, I worked in corporate financial services so understand first hand the pressures of working in fast paced, high stress environments.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
