About me

 I am a warm and friendly person who works with people on an individual basis. I trust my clients to use the sessions in a way that is helpful to them and I never judge anything that you may bring up. I always respond to enquiries in a timely manner. 

I am an accredited member of the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). 

I grew up in Australia and worked there as a youth worker. When I moved to the UK I decided I wanted to work as a psychotherapist. I completed my Masters degree in counselling and psychotherapy practice and have done extensive research on the effect counselling has on Hyperemesis Gravidarum patients.

I offer online, telephone and in person sessions.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have completed a Masters degree in counselling and psychotherapy through LJMU. I have lived experience of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (a pregnancy illness that I experienced in 2017) and have done extensive research on the effect of counselling during HG.

As well as a qualified counsellor/psychotherapist I am a Breastfeeding Network UK (BFN UK) qualified support worker.

I volunteer at The Brain Charity with a small caseload of clients who experience a range of neurodiversities.
