About me
I am a fully qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, committed to providing a safe, calm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel supported at your own pace. I understand that reaching out for support can be a vulnerable step and I will work alongside you to create an environment where you feel heard, respected and in control of your therapeutic journey.
I work with adults and young people using a pluralistic approach, meaning I draw on a range of therapeutic methods to suit your unique needs, experiences and preferences. Some examples are:
- Person-Centred Therapy
- Psychodynamic Therapy
- Gestalt Therapy
- Transactional Analysis
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Relaxation and Mindfulness
My approach is grounded in empathy, sensitivity and a deep respect for your lived experience. I take time to build a trusting relationship and work in a collaborative, solution-focused way always adapting my style in response to what feels most helpful for you. You will never be pushed or rushed; instead, we’ll work together with a shared understanding that healing unfolds differently for everyone.
I am fully insured and hold an enhanced DBS check. I am a registered member of The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and I follow their professional Code of Ethics to ensure your safety and wellbeing.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have over 8 years’ experience working within the NHS, schools, and specialist services, supporting people of all ages with their mental health and wellbeing. My background includes counselling, early intervention, and work with survivors of trauma and domestic abuse.
I take a trauma-informed, compassionate approach, offering a safe and confidential space where clients feel heard, respected, and never judged. Over the years, I’ve supported people through a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, identity questions, and the impact of past trauma.
I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow when given empathy, safety, and choice. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you process your experiences, strengthen resilience, and move forward with greater confidence and wellbeing.
