About me

Are you feeling anxious or have low self-esteem? Are you worried about your relationship or your family? Are you struggling with overwhelm or having concerns at work, feel frustrated and stuck? Are you worried about ADHD and want to understand that better? Do you need a safe and confidential space to share some of these feelings with an experience and qualified person who will sit with you without fear or judgement?

I am a qualified therapist and supervisor working with couples and individuals.

There can be times in our lives when we face difficult and painful situations; it’s in these times when talking to someone can help. Family and friends can be very helpful but sometimes we need to talk to someone who we don’t know who can listen to us impartially, with empathy and in confidence.

I am a positive, warm and experienced therapist running my own private practice. Alongside my private practice I work as the Chief Executive in a busy counselling agency where I work with couples, adults and families. I also deliver bespoke training days and mentor counselling trainees.

I have a diploma in couple therapy and have completed the Externship and Core Skills training in Emotionally Focussed Couple Therapy (EFT) with the British and International Emotionally Focussed Couple Training (BEFT / ICEEFT). I am also currently studying Psychosexual & Relationship Psychotherapy with the London Diploma, taking lower cost clients from February 2025 [Student Member of COSRT]. 

I have completed Supervision Training with CSTD Bath (Centre for Supervision, Training and Development). CSTD Bath is endorsed by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) as a "Recognised Supervision Training" and checks all UKCP's requirements for supervision training.

I would describe my counselling approach as integrative drawing on person-centred, emotionally focussed therapy (EFT) transactional analysis, psychodynamic, systemic and the spiritual in a significant way.

I have many years of experience and working for two charities has given me vast experience with a range of difficulties and presenting issues. I provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore your concerns without judgement. All of your thoughts and feelings are important and need to be heard and honoured to gain understanding.

If you want to find out more, please call me to leave a message or email me and I will make contact with you within 24 hours. I am happy to speak with you on the phone before we meet if you will find that useful.

I offer appointments via zoom and in-person for 50 or 90 minutes and at our first meeting we will have the opportunity to explore what is bothering you and think about whether therapy is right for you at this time.

I work short and long term, whichever suits you and this is something we can discuss when we first meet. Once we have agreed to work together, we will decide on suitable times to meet.
