About me
My aim in therapy is to help my client build confidence, autonomy and a strong sense of self to be able to navigate the world around them with their head held high.
Counselling can feel like a daunting process to open up and share with a "stranger" there is something beautiful about opening up with someone that you trust and I work on building that trust by providing a space where you will feel valued and heard. I use a person-centred compassionate approach meaning that I take your lead and work with whatever you wish to bring I will empathise with your struggles and also provide a non-judgemental environment in the hope that you feel comfortable sharing absolutely anything with me.
Developing the relationship is at the core of my practice and I recognise through years of experience that there must be a genuine relationship at the heart of the counselling between myself and the client for change to occur and to take notice of the trauma that may have happened in your life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I believe you know yourself best, and my role is to support you in finding your own path forward. I offer a welcoming, safe, and non-judgemental space where you can share your thoughts, feelings, and worries openly.
Together, we can explore how you experience stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I support you to develop practical tools, insight, and confidence to navigate these difficulties both in and outside of therapy.
I have over 10 years’ experience working in mental health, including extensive work with young people in schools and adults from diverse backgrounds. Alongside my therapy practice, I work as a mental health adviser within a university setting, which continually deepens my understanding of the pressures people face and strengthens my therapeutic work.
I work collaboratively and relationally, alongside you as an equal partner, creating the conditions for meaningful and lasting change. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to face it alone.
