About me

About Me
Welcome! I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with the guidance of a compassionate, trained professional. Counselling can be a powerful tool to help you better understand yourself, build resilience, enhance your well-being, and discover a path forward that feels authentic and right for you.

About My Practice
I’m a fully qualified and accredited counsellor with over 15 years of experience providing one-to-one counselling for adults. I specialise in helping clients navigate a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, childhood trauma, low self-esteem, family and relationship issues, work-related stress, grief and bereavement, social anxiety, PTSD, and panic attacks.

My counselling approach is rooted in solution-focused and relational therapy, offering practical tools and meaningful connection to support your journey. I am also trained in EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), a leading method for addressing trauma and distressing memories.

 As a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and EMDR UK, I work within their Ethical Framework and receive regular professional supervision to ensure the highest standards of care.

If you’re ready to take the next step, please reach out to arrange your first session. Since I may be in session with clients, the best way to contact me is by email. We can schedule a 15-minute call or video chat to discuss your needs and answer any questions about appointments.

EMDR Therapy – A Unique and Effective Approach
I’m proud to offer EMDR therapy, a powerful psychotherapeutic technique endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for addressing trauma and PTSD.

EMDR therapy helps process and reframe distressing memories using guided techniques like eye movements, sounds, or taps. This approach enables your brain to work through traumatic experiences, reducing symptoms like flashbacks, intrusive memories, panic attacks, and nightmares.

People often see significant improvement in their symptoms after just a few sessions, although EMDR isn’t suitable for everyone and should always be undertaken with a trained therapist.

To find out more about this life-changing therapy, visit the EMDR UK website. If you’re curious about how EMDR could help you, I’d be happy to discuss it further—just get in touch!
