About me
Has life become overwhelming and you need someone to talk to?
It really is a courageous step to reach out and admit you are struggling and I will help to put you at ease.
I see myself as a down to earth, real and passionate person.
As an Integrative Therapist, I use a range of approaches with a particular interest in trauma, inner child work, attachment, parts work and creative approaches.
I have a holistic approach to therapy and a typical session will incorporate connecting mind and body through mindfulness and gentle movement.
Our emotions are held in our bodies which are energy and need to be expressed and transformed.
I work online via Zoom and by telephone.
My fees are £60 per 1 hour session.
If this sounds right for you, then call or email me to set up a free initial 20 minute session. We can talk about what you want to get out of counselling.

I have extensive experience working with adults at Mind and as a schools counsellor and also a bereavement counsellor with a local hospice. As well as talking therapy, I use creative therapy which helps to explore the unconscious where “there are no words” and many have received lightbulb moments using this wonderful way of working. I use sand play, work with miniatures, relationship cards and artwork.
I specialise in helping people who have experienced trauma with an emphasis on working with the body where our emotions are stored. Mindfulness meditation and exploring spirituality are an important aspect to my work.
As a qualified exercise teacher, I run Zoom Mindful Movement classes which blend yoga, pilates and mindfulness meditation.
