About me
Do you feel on high alert, anxious about day to day events, struggling with constant overwhelming thoughts of not feeling good enough or needing to be perfect. Life can feel so exhausting when you, are struggling with difficult emotions, difficult past experiences, or maybe trying to get or have a diagnosis. I understand what it feels like: the sense of confusion, isolation and feeling lost with how to manage and be strong, be enough.
I can help you with feeling lighter, more connected to others, confident with daily life as well as feeling more in control and less anxious. Together we can work on reducing the impact of flashbacks, reducing feelings of overwhelm and manage self harm or suicidal thoughts and feelings.
I will be on the journey with you as you learn more about yourself and understand as well as sit with big feelings such as intense frustration. Learning the to reduced unhelpful behaviours and build a clearer picture of who you are.
I specialise in working with Adults and young people who have experienced Trauma. I am a School Counsellor with a disability and am a mum of 2 teens who have additional & different needs. I have 7 years of Crisis Support experience, 20 years as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and 13 years as a Holistic Therapist.
All of my experience helps me to understand how you are feeling without judgement only compassion. I am flexible with the support I offer because I know life is complicated enough already. I offer tailored therapy because everyone is different, you might like to utilise creativity, visualisation, practical strategies to calm and soothe. I will be guided by you as we explore what feels helpful and useful.
I am really glad you felt able to start the process of looking for support it can feel so hard to reach out for support and admit things are not ok, I offer a free 30 minute call to help you feel comfortable & understand the process and if you would like to work with me. I hope you can take that next step and get in touch to talk things through some more.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
