About me

Hello! I support adults and young people to better understand themselves, their relationship dynamics, and their personal narrative using a mix of creative and expressive tools. 

How counselling can help

Perhaps you find yourself stuck in a particular 'role' or 'story' in your life and you're looking for a change. Maybe you've gone through a big event or ending and are trying to make sense of this most recent 'chapter'. Or maybe you're looking to put some spark and joy back into your life and you need help unblocking your creativity. Most importantly, you're looking to live a more expressive, engaged and meaningful life. 

My approach

My approach is warm, thoughtful, and intuitive. I use a combination of imagery, story and embodiment techniques as communication tools to help us understand your unique experience and perspective. I also sometimes draw on archetypes and the Enneagram (personality types) which support us in identifying where you are, as well as the direction you would like to go in. 

What to expect in your first session

Creativity is at the forefront of my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy, as well as ways of working together. We might use some creative tools to help support the interaction, such as therapy/image cards, story stems, sand tray, or other similar ways of working.

We all feel lost or find ourselves at important crossroads at times. I'm here to support you while you reorient yourself and create something new and beautiful. And to remind you that no hero ever feels ready to embark on their journey! Please contact me today for a free consultation. I look forward to meeting you.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
