About me
I am an integrative therapist working collaboratively with clients to help them solve the issues they bring to counselling.
I have a private practice seeing couples, individuals and young people. I specialise in working with young people as I have practiced for many years as a lead school counsellor in a mainstream senior academy and in other settings. I also specialise in relationship therapy having trained with Relate and being a Relate Practitioner.
I am experienced in working with many different issues, including relationship issues, eating disorders, obesity, self-harming, depression/low mood, anxiety, bereavement, low self-esteem, substance abuse, sexual abuse, anger management and trauma.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adhere to the BACP professional code of ethics and practice. My work is supervised and I am fully insured.
