About me

I’m a qualified Counsellor/Psychotherapist.

I’m a qualified Counsellor/Psychotherapist.  Have you reached a turning point wanting to move forward, but find yourself unable to?  Sometimes the first step, can be the hardest step!  I aim to provide a safe, non-judgemental and compassionate space for Clients to explore their issues and challenges.  

I have a special interest in working with individuals who have experienced trauma,  or struggle with cultural heritage and identity. I  also have an interest in Couples therapy.  Applying an empathetic approach, my goal is to create an environment where we can explore issues together, and work towards greater clarity and emotional freedom.

If you are experiencing difficulties whether anxiety, bereavement, depression, trauma or other emotionally distressing issues; I  provide a compassionate space to reflect and talk through these difficulties.

I am based at The Sage Therapy Centre, Wollaton, Nottingham and The Magnolia Therapy Centre, Sherwood Nottingham.

Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
