About me
I live in Crowborough, East Sussex, where I work face to face in a peaceful therapy room and online. I also offer select home visits for the elderly, or those unable to travel due to personal restrictions.
Change can be daunting, especially if your best coping strategies aren’t working anymore. Trauma and loss often lead us to push painful experiences aside, but if you've found yourself here, perhaps you don't have to carry it all on your own anymore. As an integrative humanistic counsellor, I believe that people have a remarkable capacity for healing and growth — and I have a safe and confidential space where we can focus on your wellbeing and work towards the changes that matter to you.
While I have a particular specialism in bereavement, I work with all forms of loss, anxiety, panic attacks, childhood-related difficulties, low self-esteem and life-changing events. Whatever your beliefs, however you identify, and whether you're neurotypical or neurodivergent — you are welcome here.
Outside of work, I enjoy writing, love being outdoors with my border collie, and I do my best to avoid spiders and housework.
Training, qualifications & experience
My 'past life' in the corporate advertising world showed me the many ways the ego can interfere with happiness. I changed lanes into a long career as a professional illustrator before retraining as a counsellor, beginning with a placement at a local charity supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged young people. I then volunteered for several years as a bereavement counsellor at a local hospice before moving into private practice.
I trained at the Wealden Psychology Institute and alongside my counselling work, I've enjoyed combining my creative background to provide art and relaxation days for Macmillan Cancer Support and private groups.
You are welcome to contact me in confidence via my mobile, email or website. I work with adults (18+). I am a registered member of the NCPS, hold professional indemnity insurance, and adhere to its Ethical Framework.
