About me
Hello and welcome. I am a UKCP registered and NCPS Senior Accredited psychotherapist and counsellor, with a warm and collaborative approach, specialising in relationships, trauma, life transitions/changes and bereavement and loss.
Rooted in Transactional Analysis, my work is grounded in the belief that we all have intrinsic value and the capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful connection; both with ourselves, others and environments that we live in.
I aim to create a space that is respectful, non-judgemental and empowering. I hold a particular interest in the way our values, sense of meaning and spirituality shape our internal world and relationships with ourselves and others. Whether you identify with a specific spiritual tradition or simply feel a deeper longing for purpose and authenticity, I offer a space to reflect and explore safely and openly.
If you would like to book a telephone consultation, you are welcome to book online through my website: https://essencecounsellinghub.co.uk/book-a-consultation-1 or send me a message.
Training, qualifications & experience
Experience
I began counselling 10 years ago, and after qualifying as a counsellor, I continued developing through advanced Transactional Analysis psychotherapy training.
I was first drawn to Transactional Analysis because of its accessible and powerful way of helping people make sense of themselves and their relationships. It offers practical concepts for understanding emotional patterns, relational dynamics, and the deeper narratives that shape how we live. I became passionate about this approach and went on to complete advanced training to become a Certified Transactional Analyst and a *column C practitioner of the SCoPEd framework.
In the meantime, I have worked with individuals and couples with a range of issues, starting out in bereavement care, then working specifically with young people at a local charity and in a specialist college, before starting up in private practice. I offered counselling through a local charity that supports mums who experienced coercive control and emotional abuse in their previous relationship, and in recent years I specialised further in offering trauma focused therapy for anyone experiencing conditions such as PTSD, following traumatic experiences.
Other common issues that I have worked with include: anxiety, low confidence / self-esteem, low moods / depression, self and identity, issues relating to LGBTQIA+, relationships, family issues, bereavement / loss, traumatic experiences.
I taught on a level 3 counselling course at a local college, and for a period of time delivered Mental Health Awareness and Mental Health First Aid training nationwide, approved and licensed through Mental Health First Aid England.
