About me
I know it is hard to seek help and support for yourself. I can provide you with calm, safe and confidential space for you to deal with emotional distress and pain. I offer a warm, trusting environment to help you find your own way towards healing and understanding yourself, giving you the ability to have a fresh prospective on your future.
I am a fully qualified counsellor and I practice integrative therapy which can help with a range of short and long-term issues including depression, anxiety, relationships, trauma, bereavement, and low self-esteem.
I am kind and approachable and I believe in your ability to change and move from where you are now, to find some peace and hope for the future.
Please contact me on email, text or WhatsApp.
I will reply within 48 hours, and we can have a chat about your situation and plan how to go forward, don't worry if you're not sure of what you need, we can take our time to find out.
Training, qualifications & experience
As a fully qualified experienced Counsellor, accredited by the National Counselling Society, I have many years of experience of working with people from diverse backgrounds who need someone to listen to them and enable them to feel better about themselves and have hope for the future. I welcome those from any background, those with disabilities, and any disadvantages which may make it hard to afford counselling. In addition, I am also a qualified careers counsellor and hold a MA in vocational guidance, a Post Graduate Diploma in Careers Guidance and I am also a Doctor of Education. I have a deep understanding of the educational environment as student, member of staff and a governor, spanning primary, secondary, FE and university.
