Email meAbout me
My down-to-earth approach enables me to build trusting relationships with my clients. I hope that in turn this enables you to feel safe to share whatever the issues are that have brought you to counselling. We'll work together at your speed and with the issues you bring. It's your time and space to explore whatever is important to you.
I am trained as a person-centred counsellor, which means that I can work with most things that might bring you to counselling - if it matters to you then it's a valid reason to come to counselling, and it matters to me. I can work in person or via VSee/Video Link.
I have a varied professional background working with a wide range of issues including bereavement (of both adults and children, sudden and expected), children's palliative care, addiction and substance use, mental illness, anxiety, criminal justice, sexual abuse and domestic violence.
I currently work in private practice in Leeds and Wakefield, and I am also employed in children's palliative care. I work with over 16's.
