About me

Operating in Suffolk, I work with individuals and young people (16+) to help them navigate life when it feels difficult.

My career spans two decades across the mental health and education sectors. I began my professional path as a qualified teacher working within a variety of settings both locally and internationally.

Following my classroom experience I moved into the charitable sector to lead services for children and young people. Today alongside my therapy practice, I mentor students online and also have spent the last two years providing professional counselling as a volunteer for Suffolk Mind.

I am trained in the Human Givens approach which is tailored for swift progress. My approach isn't about repeatedly revisiting painful memories or embarking on long journeys of self discovery. 

I ensure each session targets your unique objectives and we work together to meet your emotional needs. In a kind confidential space, we will look to restore your confidence and make a life that works for you.

I provide a free 15 minute conversation, to ensure that we are the right fit, as finding a counsellor that you feel comfortable with is vital. We take sessions on a session by session basis.

Please email to arrange an initial conversation.

Key details

DBS check

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

If accessibility is a concern, I do rent local counselling rooms in both the Stowmaket and Ipswich areas.
