About me
It can feel a big step to look for a counsellor or begin therapy. I am kind, approachable and here to support you. I offer counselling and psychotherapy for a wide range of experiences.
I offer support with anxiety, depression, abortion & menopause experiences.
My specialist area is supporting people who have experienced any trauma, childhood sexual abuse, difficult childhood experiences, trafficking and domestic violence. I offer support with C-PTSD and dissociation.
I offer support to anyone feeling they would like a place to turn to, and have someone alongside them. It's ok to come with any issues that are on your mind.
My fees are on a scale of £40-£50. You can choose how often you come and stop at anytime. I can offer a free 20 minute phone call.
I have 13 years experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist and 10 years in private practice here in Newark. I've previously worked at ISAS (Incest and sexual abuse support, Newark) and the Quetzal Project (womens sexual abuse support centre, Leicester) and Nottingham rape crisis.
Please email or text me if you'd like a session or to speak.
