About me
As an integrative counsellor, I offer a warm, confidential space where you can talk openly and feel heard. I draw on a range of therapeutic models in order to tailor my approach to your individual needs.
You may be coming to counselling with a specific concern, like a difficult relationship, a loss, or an emotional struggle, or perhaps you're not quite sure what's wrong, but you know something doesn't feel right. Whatever brings you here, counselling provides a space to begin making sense of your experiences.
I aim to build a collaborative and supportive relationship with you, where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, process difficult experiences, and move towards greater self-understanding and wellbeing. I work in a trauma-informed way, with an understanding of how past experiences can shape how we feel, relate to others, and manage day-to-day life.
Sessions are available in-person, online, or by telephone, and can be either short-term or open-ended depending on your needs.

Alongside my private practice, I work within an NHS Talking Therapies service run by Mind, where I offer Counselling for Depression, a therapy model that supports people experiencing low mood and anxiety. My background also includes working for the bereavement service at Rennie Grove Peace Hospice, as well as counselling young people in a secondary school.
