About me
I’ve been an integrative counsellor for 10 years and have worked with all kinds of different people with all kinds of different stories. We all need a space to talk and be heard, really heard, and have our inherent value recognised. In a world where people are busy and preoccupied, I provide a confidential space that is for you, where you can be held in the things you want to work with and where there are no preconceptions about who you are or how you operate. I provide a safe, warm and kind environment where you can work through the difficulties you may be experiencing with openness and honesty, and experience change. I will work with you and what you bring in a collaborative way, with no agenda of my own, tailoring my approach to you as an individual.
Running throughout my work is a belief that holding space for you where you can say the unsayable and think the unthinkable is incredibly powerful. You have so much to bring to the world and you matter.
I work in person and online.

I have a particular interest in working with spirituality, however I work with people of all faiths and none.

I am trained as a Supervisor, holding a Diploma in Supervision. I value connection and honesty within the supervision relationship and I always aim to create a space where my supervisees can bring their successes and their difficulties. I love working with trainees and qualified counsellors alike, and can facilitate both online and in person sessions.
