About me

I am a fully qualified Integrative Therapist with a passion for supporting positive wellbeing and personal growth. I am committed to helping people navigate life’s challenges, develop greater self-awareness, and create meaningful change.

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of effective counselling. I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, tailoring my work to meet your individual needs and goals.

I have experience working with clients on both a short-term and long-term basis within a busy counselling agency. My work has supported people facing a variety of issues, including bereavement, anxiety, depression, low mood, relationship difficulties, workplace challenges, and concerns around confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth.

I understand that taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, and finding the right therapist is an important part of the process. To help you decide whether I am the right fit for you, I offer a free 15-minute consultation call where we can discuss your needs and how we might work together.

Whether you are returning to therapy and looking for a new therapist, or considering counselling for the first time, I invite you to get in touch. Together, we can explore what is bringing you to therapy and how I can support you on your journey.

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.
