About me

My therapeutic style of practice involves creating a safe, empathetic environment where successful relationships are built on trust due to an open-minded, non-judgmental approach. This practice puts the client at the heart of the therapy allowing them to explore past or current situations, emotions, thoughts and feelings.

A lot of my work with clients is quite solution based where clients bring current problems to sessions looking for better ways to manage their emotions/behaviours/thoughts.

Working together with clients over the years I have supported issues such as; anxiety, depression, self-esteem, anger, jealousy, bereavement, identity, chronic health conditions and more general life activities that concern people. 

I have achieved certification in Relationship Counselling and have availability to support couples looking to engage in the therapeutic process. If you are a couple struggling with communication or any other relationship needs contact me for a free 20 min initial consultation. 

My background is Health, Social Care and Education with experience of teaching and delivery of educational programmes in schools, colleges and residential environments. I am dedicated to the personal and professional development of those I work with encouraging people to believe they can achieve.
