We aren't meant to fit into boxes. I believe that you are the expert of yourself and that my role is to help you explore whatever it is you bring in a nonjudgmental way with awareness, curiosity, and support. What brings you here today?

Sometimes, we seek therapy because we need someone to listen without judgment. Other times, we may feel that we have lost ourselves, or are trying to figure out who we want to be going forward. While there is no magic wand to get there in an instant, my practice style is to come alongside you and hold a safe space to help support you on your therapeutic journey.

I offer an integrative approach and believe that everyone should be welcome to be themselves. I have worked with a range of ages and backgrounds, including those experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, and family issues, as well as those who are survivors of trauma or struggling with low self-esteem.

Various trauma trainings and other courses enable me to support your experience, and I have a Master of Counselling from the University of Edinburgh that includes COSCA qualification. I’m also a BACP member.

I’m always engaging with new research and knowledge around mental health and wellbeing to make sure I can support my clients. Before training to become a therapist, I worked 10 years as an editor where I helped support others to find their voice in their writings. My background helped me develop into the therapist I am and I offer an accepting, empathetic, and safe environment that is unique to you.

Reaching out can feel like a big step to some. I wish you the best whenever you do so with whomever you choose.

I have recently updated my fees to be a sliding scale based on what you feel comfortable paying. Please reach out with any questions.
