I offer a flexible way of working via a convenient booking page that allows you the client (or supervisee) to choose when you want us to work together. Clients can either hop into a single session (SST) or take their time with either short-term or longer-term counselling to work on themselves. 

As a Master in Counselling Psychology with post-graduate qualifications and experience working with adults and young people internationally and in the UK, I work with children young people and families, whether that is education-related school refusers /social anxieties/teachers/international school expat educators, parents and couples alike. 

In addition, I work holistically with parents experiencing separation /divorce shared care conflicts, family court /CAFCASS/ Legal involvement etc., supporting their journey throughout the process. 

For individuals seeking therapy, for someone to open up to, looking for coping strategies to deal with mild to moderate mental health issues, thoughts feelings and behaviours, relationships or how to better manage life, I have fifteen years of experience working with many of these issues.

I practice face-to-face and online by appointment, from Leek town centre (ST13 5DN) in a beautiful Grade 2 listed building 'The Unicorn'.
