'When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves' - Viktor Frankl

I am an integrative therapist working collaboratively with clients to help them resolve the issues they bring to counselling.

I have a private practice seeing couples, individuals and young people. I  specialise in relationship therapy having trained with Relate and being a Relate Practitioner. I specialise also in working with young people having founded and led a counselling service for students and staff in a mainstream senior academy.  Recently, I also worked for two years for a charity counselling adult survivors of child sexual abuse, broadening my knowledge of working with trauma.

I am experienced in working with many different issues, including relationship issues, eating disorders, obesity, self-harming, depression/low mood, anxiety, bereavement, low self-esteem, substance abuse, sexual abuse, anger management and trauma.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adhere to the BACP professional code of ethics and practice. My work is supervised and I am fully insured.
