Counsellor (MBACP)

About me

Life can be amazing, but it can also come with its own set of challenges. Especially at the moment with everything going on in the world. It's quite understandable to feel overwhelmed with many different emotions. Whatever our reason for going to counselling it’s about having someone to listen, to our fears, anxieties, losses, our hopes, and joys.

I offer a warm, safe, and confidential space for you to explore these difficulties at your own pace and support you in gaining a deeper understanding and connection to yourself. I like to incorporate a creative approach to support you throughout your journey and allow you to express or communicate through different ways; if what you are exploring is difficult to put into words.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a pluralistic and creative counsellor with a wide range of experience in other roles from working with young people in a college setting to working in an organisation supporting women. I have over 10 years of experience caring and supporting others from numerous roles. I have an interest in perinatal mental health, neonatal experiences, domestic abuse, anxiety and depression.
