About me

My intention is to offer you a safe time and space to understand yourself and any issues you are facing.  I work without judgement and follow your lead.

Perhaps you have a current issue you'd like to work on, have experienced something traumatic, or your life is not where you imagined.  Are there elements of stress, anxiety or low mood? 

Counselling can be difficult work. If you are ready to get started I would be privileged to work with you. 

I really encourage you to take your time to find a therapist you feel comfortable and safe with. Please make contact with me and we can arrange a free phone/online call. Ask me questions, get an idea of how I work and see whether we are a good fit.

I have worked at a charity supporting women and men over 16 years of age who have experienced abuse, childhood sexual abuse, rape and domestic violence, trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders and self harm. I provide staff support for a mental health charity and have previously worked in the NHS and in corporate environments.
