Email meAbout me
Whether you’re going through a serious life change, a bereavement or are struggling with an issue you would like to explore, I offer a safe, friendly and non-judgemental space in which to work through whatever is on your mind.
As an integrative therapist, I am trained and experienced in a range of therapies, specialising in the psychodynamic, existential and humanistic modalities. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all relationship and drawing on a range of techniques helps me tailor the best approach to help you move forward.
You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, panic attacks or relationships. These are issues I am experienced with. I can also help with suicidal thoughts, finding one’s purpose, eating disorders, creative block, addiction, self-harm, LGBTQI+ issues and more.
How to book a counselling session:
- contact me for a free telephone consultation
- book an initial assessment session via email/phone
- decide after the initial assessment whether you would like to continue working with me in further sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I gained my Advanced Diploma in Integrative Therapy at CPPD and have worked in many organisational settings including the NHS, schools and charity counselling services.
Prior to becoming a counsellor, I worked as a secondary school teacher and police officer.
