Sometimes we may feel trapped by situations, people, or ourselves; we may also cling to beliefs and behaviours that we simply cannot let go. By working collaboratively in counselling, we may enable a shift in our mindset and make change happen. 

I am a registered counsellor (MBACP) and a doctoral counselling psychologist trainee (MBPsS). I am bound by both BACP and BPS’s ethical codes that include respecting confidentiality and having regular clinical supervision. 

As a counsellor, I value a trusting and honest therapeutic alliance and aim to provide a safe, containing, empathic and non-judgmental space, where you can be yourself, be heard and understood, and explore any present issues and/or something from the past. I respect the uniqueness of each individual, so I practice integratively drawing on a range of modalities to suit each person’s needs and best interests.

I have worked with staff members at an NHS Trust hospital, patients registered at a GP surgery, drug and alcohol recovery service users, survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, and people with suicidal ideations and attempts. My experiences of working with different, complex cases and strong emotions have strengthened my understanding of the complexity of mental health, challenging life events, and humanity.
