About me
I provide counselling that puts you at the centre of our work. I work closely with adults and children to help them overcome difficulties, develop coping strategies and embrace their authentic selves. We can explore these difficulties together, whether they are around trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression or ADHD (and many others!).
Through a personalised approach, I aim to empower individuals to thrive and reach their full potential. My sessions provide a safe space that is deeply unique to each person and their needs.
You are at the heart of my work and each session is directed by and led by you. In my counselling room, you are the expert in your life, while I am there to gently guide you down pathways which will help you to unpack any presenting issues.
I have had my own therapeutic experience and understand exactly how it feels to be sitting in your chair. Know that from the very session we have together, you are not alone.

I am a former teacher, working predominantly in primary schools and special needs settings. Combining my teaching experience, knowledge of neurodivergence (and a whole host of other special needs) and lived experience has led to a highly personalised, creative and authentic approach to counselling.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I work with the person and not the 'disorder'. All diagnoses can be helpful to find support and understanding, but my work is focused on how this impacts you as a person and not on the box that labels can often create.
