About me
Do you feel that something is not right in your life but don’t fully understand it, and have no one to talk to about it? Do you want to improve your confidence? Learn ways to deal with the stress of everyday life? Help relieve anxiety and depression? Improve relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed and desperate? Then counselling may be for you. These are just a few of the areas where I help adults make positive changes in their lives through counselling.
I am a qualified counsellor, psychotherapist and hypnotherapist based in Tickhill, Doncaster. I offer a confidential service in a private, professional and safe environment. I am friendly and approachable.
I use a person centred and integrative approach which means that I draw on a number of different theories and practices to tailor something that best fits you. In a non-judgemental way I will help you explore your thoughts, feelings and issues eventually moving to a point where together we can identify ways to help you move forward.
I work with late teens through to all ages of adults and have experience of working with a range of issues including: Abuse (sexual, emotional and physical), Anger Management, Anxiety, Bereavement, Child Related Issues, Depression, Low Self Confidence, Low Self Esteem, Panic Attacks, Phobias, Relationship Issues, Self Harm, Stress, Trauma, Work Related Issues.
I have a special interest in working with stress, anxiety and depression.
I love working as a counsellor. I decided to train as a counsellor due to my genuine interest in others and from my desire to make a positive and meaningful contribution to the lives of those experiencing distress. When a client experiences that “penny dropping moment” where something suddenly makes sense to them, I feel privileged to have been part of that. Seeing people grow and move forward through their own abilities is extremely rewarding.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
