About me
Hi, I’m an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in private practice in Bewdley, Worcestershire, also covering Kidderminster, Stourport-on-Severn and surrounding areas.
I offer a compassionate and inclusive space where children, young people and adults can feel safe, heard and accepted, and have the time and space to work through difficulties at their own pace.
I work with a range of emotional and relational challenges, including anxiety, stress, low mood, overwhelm, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and life changes. My approach is person-centred at its heart, while drawing on other therapeutic theories and approaches where helpful, allowing me to adapt my work to each individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
I believe each person is unique, with their own experiences, strengths and capacity for growth. Building a trusting, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship is central to my work, creating a space where you can explore what is happening for you without judgement or pressure.
Alongside my private practice, I have extensive experience supporting children and young people across education, health and social care. I adapt my approach according to age, development and individual needs, incorporating play and creative approaches where appropriate, particularly when it can be difficult to express feelings through words. I also have experience supporting neurodiverse children, young people and adults, including Autism and ADHD.
I have a particular interest in women’s wellbeing and also offer personal therapy for counselling students. Sessions are available face-to-face, online and by telephone, providing flexibility in how you access support.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a BSc full (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy, including specialised training in working with children, young people, and couples. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with trauma, emotional wellbeing challenges, and neurodiversity, including Autism and ADHD. My professional background is diverse, allowing me to draw on a breadth of experience to inform my approach.
I am committed to continuous professional development and regularly undertake additional training and courses to respond to specific client needs.

Further information
My practice is based at Bridge House in Bewdley, Worcestershire, in a comfortable and welcoming ground-floor office. The premises are accessible, with parking available directly outside, including disabled parking.
I recognise that accessing counselling can feel different for everyone, and I aim to make sessions as comfortable and accessible as possible. Individual needs, preferences or reasonable adjustments can be discussed during the initial consultation, allowing us to consider what may help you feel comfortable and able to engage with counselling.
I offer face-to-face, online and telephone sessions, providing flexibility around how you access support. My way of working is collaborative and led by you, with the pace and focus of therapy shaped around your individual needs, circumstances and what feels manageable.
