About me and my therapy practice

I am an integrative counsellor. I specialise in working with eating disorders, working with those who personally experience eating difficulties, as well as family, friends and loved ones who may be affected.

I am a calm, warm and approachable person, who values and respects every person as an individual. I aim to provide a safe, trusting and empathic space, free of judgement.

I am a fully qualified counsellor and registered member of the BACP. I trained at the Iron Mill College in Exeter, and hold both an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling (BACP Accredited) and a Post-Qualifying Diploma in Eating Disorders. In addition to my private practice, I work as a wellbeing consultant and counsellor in higher education. 

I work with a range of problems and experiences including, but not limited to, eating difficulties, anxiety, depression, bereavement, low self-esteem and low confidence, family and relationship issues and neurodiversity. I have a particular interest in eating difficulties and working with people who have been affected by eating disorders.

Practice description

Counselling can look different for everyone and can bring up a multitude of emotions – some more challenging or unexpected than others. I will be there with you to help you navigate this important but potentially challenging process. I will support you to develop a stronger sense of self and a deeper understanding of your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw from different theories and disciplines, combining these to create a holistic approach that can support a wide range of needs and experiences. I have a primarily non-directive, person-centred approach, while integrating aspects of transactional analysis, creative exercises and solution-focused tools.

My approach values the therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client – I believe this is at the heart of the counselling process. I will endeavour to step inside your shoes and to see the world from your perspective. As a client-led therapist, I aim to work at a pace that suits you. I aim not to provide advice or answers, but to work with and alongside you, on your personal journey of healing and self-discovery.

My first session

I offer a fifteen minute introductory phone or video call, free of charge. This is a relaxed and informal appointment, giving us an opportunity to meet and ask questions, discuss your needs, and to see if I am the right therapist for you.

Following this initial call, if you would like to continue, we can arrange a day and time to meet for an individual session. Our first session will give us a further opportunity to explore your needs and agree how we will work together.

Ongoing sessions are usually weekly, at a regular day and time, but we can discuss other options if you feel this may not work for you. Therapy can be short-term or long-term, depending on your needs and preference.
