About me
Life can really be shit sometimes, right?
Therapy can be a helpful way to explore, understand and find meaning when life feels difficult and distressing. Together we can explore your experiences, thoughts, and emotions openly and honestly. We'll work towards developing new coping skills, gaining deeper self-awareness, and achieving a greater sense of well-being. A long the way there may be tears, laughter and a bit of swearing.
It is a good idea to talk to a few therapists to get a feel for who is out there. Get in contact if you want a free 30 min chat, with genuinely no obligation, to see if I am someone you want to talk to.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified Pyschotherapist and Counsellor. I specialise in Transactional Analysis therapy, which is a therapy that talks about everyone having a parent, adult and child inside themselves. It is a great theory and my clients have found it really useful in understanding themselves!
- Pyschoptherapy Diploma - Level 7 (2024) from the Ellesmere Centre, Hull
- Psychotherapeutic Counsellor Diploma - Level 6 (2023) from the Ellesmere Centre, Hull
- Foundation Certificate in Transactional Analysis (2021) from the Ellesmere Centre, Hull
- 2:1 Philosophy Degree (2006) from the University of Sheffield
Previous to my therapy training I worked in the third sector supporting adults with disabilities and people who were at risk of homelessness. In these supporting roles, I felt that the practical support I was trained to give helped people with surface level changes but not the deeper issues they struggled with. This experience combined with my own experience of personal therapy has made me passionate about the power of therapy.

Further information
Therapy isn't really like in the movies. It's a two way, active and creative process. When there are times where words just don’t cut it, therapy can involve scribbling on flip charts, practising breathing techniques or using playdough, to express and understand. Sometimes it will be about being quiet and other times there might be laughter.
