About me and my therapy practice
Asking for support is the first step forward when life can seem a bit overwhelming. I am interested in what I can offer you. I am based in Bideford where I provide a friendly, safe and confidential space for you to explore any concerns and where I can provide that support and share knowledge to help unravel some of life’s challenges. Together we will be able to work to increase your self-awareness and reinstate a greater sense of balance and control. I am an Integrative Therapist which means that I use my knowledge of several different theoretical models to find the tools to help you and provide the right support needed and personalise it for you.
I work in private practice as well as being the Deputy Clinical Lead and senior counsellor at Clarity which is a Barnstaple based mental health charity. I have experience working with a wide range of adult clients, aged 18+, and mental health issues from a basic need of self-exploration, anxiety, self-harm, bereavement, depression, trauma and historical abuse. I offer both short and longer-term therapy to suit your needs. I am a registered member of the BACP which is the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. As a Member of the BACP, I work within their ethical framework and am fully committed to my own continual professional development by regularly undertaking additional training courses to enhance my therapeutic work.
