Hello, and a very warm welcome to my page.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist with nearly a decade of experience in the mental health and social care fields, as a therapist but also a key worker and support worker. My passion is working with human healing and growth.

I am patient and empathetic and invested being alongside you in the therapeutic journey.

Whatever your situation may be, I will value you as an individual.

I have an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Keele University and am registered with BACP. I also have a certificate in Counselling from the University of the West of England.

Training at a low cost counselling service offering short and longer term counselling for NHS IAPT and low cost clients, I have helped people from many different backgrounds.

I have supported people with different cultural and religious backgrounds and identities, and respect diversity and inclusivity.

After a few sessions, clients nearly always tell me they have a better understanding their often overwhelming feelings and problems, and have found sessions have helped them find their own clarity, solutions and healing, as well as relief from their emotional pain.

The first session will last up to 15 minutes and I offer this free of charge. This is a chance to for us both to gauge whether you feel we can work together. For you, it is important you feel comfortable talking to me and for me, I can see if think any of the presenting issues are out of my skill set (eg eating disorders).

If you feel comfortable talking to me and decide to continue our sessions, the fee is £60 per 50 minute session.

Sessions are by either telephone or video call.
