About me
Are you struggling with anxiety, addiction, trauma, loss of identity, symptoms of ADHD depression, low mood, being unable to relax or be yourself? It doesn't need to be that way. Through counselling we can create new ways of coping, seeing yourself through compassionate eyes and relearning how to truly love and care for yourself. Feeling unhappy is exhausting, so lets see what we can do to change things. You're not alone.
I offer integrative counselling for adults in a supportive, non-judgemental space. I tailor therapy to your needs, drawing from a range of approaches. I have long standing experience in trauma and addiction, and also work with anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, and life changes. I work to empower you and help you create a new way of being in yourself.
Therapy can be a daunting prospect, so to help you decide, I offer a free 15 minute telephone or video call, to give you the opportunity to see how we might work together. You can ask any questions, check availability schedules and generally see how feel about starting counselling with myself.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have dedicated my life to helping professions since 2008. Starting in forensic mental health facilities, I then worked with survivors of domestic and sexual violence, the youth offending service, the NHS and addiction services. My experience and passion for my work has developed into happily running my own dedicated practise as a counsellor. Im privileged in the fact that I love my work, and I feel incredibly lucky to be in a position to help others and co-create positive change and happiness within my clients. To me, being a therapist isn't a job, its a way of being in the world and who I am.
