About me

I am a fully qualified Counsellor with a career spanning over 25 years in the field of mental health.

Over the past two decades, I have supported people experiencing a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, low self-esteem, relationship problems, trauma, family issues, low self confidence, loneliness, bereavement, PTSD, feeling sad, grief and loss, fear, worry, child contact issues, narcissistic abuse, social anxiety, health anxiety, mental and physical exhaustion, homelessness, hoarding, relationship breakups, addiction, poverty, homelessness, domestic abuse - physical and emotional abuse, the psychological effects of menopause and much more.

My clients tell me that having therapy enables them to think more clearly and their therapy sessions allow them to develop skills to help manage life’s challenges with a sense of calmness and mindfulness.

My approach is deeply integrative using psychodynamic and a person-centred approach's to welcome you to a supportive, non-judgemental environment. 

Counselling is to explore your thoughts and feelings to make positive changes in your life.

I am a certified grief recovery method specialist encompassing over 40 types of loss both physical and emotional and how this impacts you.  I specialise in group therapy bringing people with similar situations together.

Your therapy sessions can be either short-term or long-term depending on your needs.

My dedication is to help you achieve emotional well-being. 

I offer a free introductory session. Please contact me if you have any questions. You can call me on 07594 980821 or email me here

I'm a trained integrative counsellor using person-centred therapy encompassing the psychodynamic approach where appropriate.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Further information

I am able to work with you online or face to face. The premises I work from providing counselling sessions is in a very relaxed location.

WHY did I chose to become a counsellor ?

I have always been interested in the wellness of others, especially those who struggle with emotions. My passion for people to be well and feel accepted and understood has led me to spend the past 25 years working with people from all backgrounds with all sorts of emotional issues on a long-term and short-term basis. My approach is holistic and client-centred, adapting to each person's unique needs in the session.

HOW I work with my clients ..

My approach offers person-centred therapy welcoming you to a supportive, non-judgemental environment offering complete acceptance and empathy. This allows you to explore your feelings and thoughts freely. This allows where appropriate a thoughtful exploration of your past to bring clarity and healing to your present. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can help you to gently reshape the thoughts or behaviours that no longer serve you, fostering a positive outlook on life. Furthermore, therapy will help you develop the skills to navigate life’s challenges with calmness and mindfulness.

WHAT I do..

My approach thoughtfully combines different therapeutic interventions to suit the unique contours of your life’s story. My sessions are a safe space, free from judgement, where every emotion is validated, and every experience is respected.

With me, you’ll find a warm-hearted professional who listens deeply, and will work with you and believe wholeheartedly in your potential for renewal and growth.
