About me
Are you struggling with anxiety? low self-esteem? burnout? We all need help sometimes.
I offer my clients a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space. I believe with compassion and empathy, together we can create the space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, building towards resolutions.
- My experience to date includes, working with the LGBTQIA+ community at the Intercom Trust
- Supporting individuals and their families navigating life with neurodiversity
- Working with young people and with bereavement through the charity Balloons. I currently offer sessions both online and in-person
- Over 10 years HR and people management experience, supporting team members with feelings of anxieties, work stress and burnout.
I offer a free 15-min telephone session prior to the first session so we can briefly discuss why you are seeking help and a brief introduction to myself and how I work. I offer sessions both online, in-person (Exeter only) and walk and talk therapy (Exeter only).
I will hold regular review sessions for both client and counsellor to explore the journey and any learnings.
