About me

Life, at times, can be difficult and overwhelming and you might find you need a space in which you can feel safe, comfortable and securely supported, where you are free to speak openly, be listened to and be heard confidentially. I have experience in helping individuals with a variety of emotional, mental health and behavioural issues. I offer each client the time and opportunity they need to explore their issues and determine the changes they would like accomplish to make their life better. 

I am a qualified integrative counsellor which means I am able to adapt and apply a variety tools and techniques from different therapeutic approaches and tailor them to help each client with their specific needs and issues.     

I practice equality, diversity and inclusion.  Each person can expect to be accepted and treated warmly, with dignity and respect and without judgement.  I give support and help to those experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, stress, anger and depression, suicidal thoughts, interpersonal, relational and family issues, grief, bereavement and loss using creative techniques and resources.

Training, qualifications & experience

Level 4 Diploma in Counselling

I worked for almost 8 years in a pastoral care position with an international charitable voluntary organisation.

I have assisted with facilitating a local wellbeing group in my community for three years.
