About me

I work online and face to face in Northampton NN1. My area of experience is around trauma informed practice and working with sexual violence. Trauma can affect many areas of our lives, including our relationships, confidence, sense of safety, and how we see ourselves. Whether your experiences are recent or rooted in the past, therapy can provide the opportunity to process them at a pace that feels right for you.

Alongside trauma work, I have experience supporting clients with anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, OCD, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, attachment issues, domestic abuse and intimacy difficulties.

I believe that every person's experience is unique, and I will work alongside you to create a therapeutic experience that feels supportive, meaningful, and tailored to your individual needs. I understand that reaching out for support can feel like a big step. My hope is that you will feel comfortable, heard, and accepted from our very first conversation.

As a counsellor working within the BACP ethical framework, I treat every client the same way; with the utmost sensitivity, care, genuineness, compassion, and confidentiality. You can trust that you will be heard without judgment.

Training, qualifications & experience

I currently work for two charities with a focus on trauma support; processing past traumatic experiences, exploring any current difficulties and managing emotions and wellbeing.  

I have a good understanding of secondary trauma and burn out which can be experienced by front line professionals, this experience can have a huge impact on our personal lives.
