About me
Currently working in private practice as an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor. I believe I was called to be a counsellor, psychotherapist, and mother since the age of 14 years old..
It seems to be in my nature to want to help by listening and talking. I have a quiet love for people. I really want to help YOU. When the opportunities arose and still very young I became a nursing assistant, then a nurse, then my local GP practice supported my application to do further training as a talking therapist. I have been learning and working as a therapist ever since. I am still affiliated with that first surgery, despite having worked with others since then, Now I have lots of experience and qualifications. Come to a warm and welcoming, professional space online or in person. Let me put you at ease and use what I have to help you.
