About me

As someone who has always cared deeply about the personal struggles of individuals in distress , I'm humbled by the hidden strengths and resilience of those dealing with distress/crisis. My respect for those qualities is what drives me to use proven counselling methods in a way that supports my clients own steps towards what they define as personal empowerment and a better life. My role is to help you understand yourself better and find other ways to cope or resolve problems. My professional and personal qualities are sincere, keen, attentive, diligent, calm and adaptable.

Other relevant experience as an advocate working for children and young people representing their views, wishes and feelings, helping them navigate children services, worked in education as an experienced welfare and well-being officer, family support worker within the community, youth engagement programme worker and child playgroup worker.

I am fully qualified and insured counsellor and have experience in working alongside charities which include New Pathways (Sexual assault), Eye to Eye (school counselling) and 2 Wish Upon a Star (Bereavement Counselling) and I attend regular supervision. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Registration No.834510 and fully Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checked.

How do I get started?

Please call me on 07828 326 926 with any question you may have or  leave a message with your contact details (including phone number), and I'll get back to you or you can email me.
