About me
People come to me from different places in their lives, some understand their difficulties well but still repeat the same patterns; others can't make sense of what's happening to them at all. What they share is being tired: of anxiety, of overwhelm, of feeling permanently on guard, and of quietly wondering if anything can actually change.
My belief, from both training and my own experience, is that change is possible, often not just by talking or thinking, but by also working with the nervous system that's been holding all of this.
I'm a psychotherapeutic counsellor and HCPC-registered occupational therapist, and my work brings the two together: counselling and psychotherapy alongside gentle, body-based, nervous-system-focused approaches. Where helpful, and only by agreement, I may weave in clinical hypnotherapy. There's no fixed formula, we shape the work around you.
If you've been coping alone for a long time, reaching out might feel like a lot. It doesn't need to be. There's nothing to prepare and nothing you have to get right, a free 15-minute call is simply a chance to talk, ask anything you like, and get a feel for whether I'm the right person to walk alongside you for a while.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, covering person-centred, psychodynamic and integrative approaches, and I'm an Accredited Registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS Acc.).
Alongside this, I'm an HCPC-registered occupational therapist (BSc Hons, First Class, Ulster University) with ten years' clinical experience across mental health settings. This dual background is the foundation of how I work: talking therapy informed by a deep understanding of the nervous system, sensory processing and the body's role in emotional life.
Additional training includes attachment-based practice with adults, sensory attachment intervention, and clinical hypnotherapy (Hypnotherapy Society registrant). I'm fully insured and work within HCPC & NCPS ethical guidelines, with regular supervision.
