About me

Hello and welcome to my counsellor profile. 

I am a fully qualified and insured integrative counsellor working with adults from all backgrounds. I can work with you face to face in our beautiful office space in Cheriton or remotely via Zoom or Google Meet. 

I have vast experience in addiction and mental health and have previously worked in prisons and with the probation service helping to resettle and rehabilitate offenders. I have experience of working with women and men suffering domestic abuse and experience working with teenagers in an alternative educational setting. I have lots of experience of neurodiversity in children and adults. 

My experience allows me to work effectively with mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. Addiction problems and the family members it affects. I work with improving low self esteem and raising confidence. 

My recent work has enabled me to gain skills in working with bereavement and anticipated grief.

I also have qualifications and experience working with self harm and suicide.

I offer a safe and confidential space for you to work through what ever is troubling and having a negative impact in your life. 

My approach is integrative meaning I adapt my style of working to suit my client and use a mixture if theoretical techniques. You may need help with your hear and now issues and working through present problems or you may want to explore your childhood in more depth, or both. What ever it is I can help you through this journey in your life. I will offer you a comfortable space free of judgement. 

I also offer short term solution focused therapy to help you target your main problems. I help you to find a solution to resolve the things that are most worrying to you. Please contact me for more information.

Please contact me via email with any questions you may have or to arrange a session. I look forward to hearing from you.
