About me
I am an experienced mental health therapist, specialising in inclusive, affordable and accessible therapy. I graduated with an MA in Dramatherapy in 2016 and since then have broadened my clinical experience and understanding to work in schools, charities and frontline NHS mental health services.
Across my career I have gained extensive experience working with children and young people, families, professional staff and adults with mental health conditions, trauma, bereavement and neurodiversity.
I pride myself on being an adaptive, inclusive practitioner and offering my clients a safe, supportive and collaborative space in which to explore and problem-solve together.
I offer either online sessions, or face-to-face dependent on preference. No two sessions will ever be the same, and we will work together to consider your goals and how I can help you reach them.
