About me

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Integrative Counsellor with The British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

I studied at the University of Derby and hold a recognised qualification in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and have experience of working with adults, couples, families and young people from the age of 11 years old and upwards.

I am a qualified Life and Wellbeing Coach, assisting individuals and groups in their professional and personal life. Throughout my career I have mentored and enabled people to cope with managing challenges, providing them with the tools and mechanisms to positively move their life forward.

I work in education, working with young people who are experiencing anxiety, stress and mental health disorders. I have worked within the NHS, in Psycho-Oncology, providing therapy for individuals, their partners, families and carers, affected by cancer and other life threatening illnesses. I have also worked for a mental health organisation, providing therapy for people who have been diagnosed with severe mental health illnesses.

Within my own private practice, I offer confidentiality in a quiet, safe environment, where you can share and talk through your problems with someone you can trust.

My personal and work life experiences have provided the perfect foundation for my work, drawing on years of knowledge to support people with life changing challenges.

I regularly attend training days and workshops, as part of my continuing professional development.

My approach is Integrative, which means I have studied various therapeutic approaches and adapt my work to best suit the issues identified by my clients.

There are many reasons why people seek counselling or coaching and on my website I cover all areas I can assist you with.

MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness means awareness in its simplest translation. It is a way of paying attention, in the present moment. Mindfulness enables you to have direct knowledge of what you are doing and be aware of what is happening in your mind and body. Cultivating Mindful awareness can help you work directly with day-to-day challenges, turning towards them instead of reacting against them.

Mindfulness can help improve your emotional and psychological wellbeing. Helping you deal better with symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress.

Teaching Mindfulness techniques to young people, reduces their anxiety and stress levels during exam time and other periods in their life, improving their overall psychological and emotional wellbeing.

I hold an Advanced Teaching qualification with Breathworks, in Mindfulness for Stress and Mindfulness for Health.
