About me

Life can be a rollercoaster, filled challenges, and it is entirely normal to seek guidance during times of uncertainty.

I am a Person-Centred Counsellor with experience in providing compassionate support to clients. My practice is rooted in understanding, inclusivity, and empowerment, ensuring that every individual feels seen, heard, and valued.

I provide safe, non-judgmental space where thoughts, feelings, and what ever else is challenging can be freely explored without judgement, be that depression, anxiety, traumas  or other issues you may be living with. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify what is needed and find the tools that work for you to help you navigate the issues you are facing.

  • My Experience.

I have professional experience with working with people of different communities, I am GSRD (Gender, Sex, and Relationship Diversity) aware and have experience with working with the LGBTQIA+ community while volunteering with local charities. I also have worked for Mind in their support groups, providing support for people who have complex mental health issues.

  • What a session with me may look like

Sessions will take place in a safe and confidential space, with the idea of giving you the space for self-exploration. We will focus on the issues you bring, so that we can explore solutions to the things that worrying you. We shall create a place that gives you autonomy and safety without judgement.

Training, qualifications & experience

Experience

I have a level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling focused on person centred therapy, and I have a level 5 certificate in working with sexual and gender diverse clients.

I have extensive experience of working with vulnerable people who need complex support with a wide range of issues as well as being specialised in working with the support needs of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I am registered with the NCPS and abide by their code of ethics.

I attend professional and personal development regularly.

I have worked for Mind before going into private practice and have been volunteering for LGBTQIA+ charities since going into private practice.
