About me

It’s scary admitting to yourself that you need help; that you’re struggling with whatever is causing you to feel unhappy or distressed. 

The hardest part is making that first call, or sending that first email; but it does get easier from there. 

Due to stigma; people feel that they can only access therapy when they are at breaking point; when in fact you can access counselling whenever you need to.

My background experience is in working with abuse survivors; as well as adults and children who have experienced trauma in their lives.

I also work with Autism and ADHD and I am member of the LGBTQIAA+ Safe Space Alliance and Pink Therapy.

I work with Autism, ADHD, LGBTQIAA+, Sexual Abuse, Domestic Abuse, Familial Abuse, Narcissistic Abuse, Childhood Trauma, Cult Abuse, Depression, Anxiety, Low self esteem, Stress Management, Shame, Loneliness, Hopelessness, Bereavement, Grief & Loss, Anger, Self Harm and Suicidal feelings, as well as a broad range of other issues and experiences clients bring to their sessions.

I am also a Forest Therapy Practitioner (Shinrin-yoko) and offer a walk and talk style therapy for those who enjoy being around nature, as well as being a Reiki Master Teacher offering Reiki Sessions, Spiritual Workshops, Therapy Groups, and Training.

I am also trained in proving Inner-Child Therapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) both of which a lot of my clients have found incredibly powerful when working through their deep rooted issues.

I work with the understanding that 'knowledge is power' and the more you understand what is happening to you; the less you fear what's happening to you. This then enables you to rebuild your life as a happier you, your way, by your rules!

What I offer you is a safe, authentic and real relationship that is nurtured and grown through self compassion, kindness, trust, honesty and acceptance.

I love what I do and have a genuine passion in helping people to heal and get the best out of their lives feeling empowered.

I have three thriving practices in and around the East Midlands; Open Book Counselling, Forest & Nature Therapy East Midlands and The Spiritual Counsellor, all of which you can find on social media.

I have also been commissioned to design and deliver service user led counselling and well-being services for homeless young people in Leicester City that supports young parents, care leavers, looked after children and unaccompanied asylum seekers.

Going to see a counsellor when you are struggling with our emotional and mental health, or with life in general, should feel as natural as going to see your GP when you have a broken toe!!

So let’s remove the stigma surrounding mental health; counselling is in essence the greatest act of self care you can give to yourself.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Key details

DBS check info

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access info
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.

I am fully trained to deliver Counselling and Therapy online using the secure platform ZOOM. Or alternatively I am also providing telephone based sessions to my clients. I also see face to face clients at a venue which is wheel chair accessible
