I am a BACP accredited integrative counsellor, I also hold a Diploma in Supervision.

The role of the Supervisor is to provide a safe, supportive, confidential and non-judgemental space where the counsellor/psychotherapist can reflect on aspects of their client work. I am able to supervise counsellors/psychotherapists, both qualified or in training, working for organisations or in private practice with adults or children. I create a space to support enhancing your practice, present and explore your client work and gain insight as an ethical professional. 

I am a BACP Accredited, integrative counsellor; I qualified in 2013 and achieved BACP accreditation in 2020. I welcome enquiries from adults as well as parents or guardians of young people who would like therapeutic support to empower themselves to further to help their family. I also work with counselling or supervision trainees, at concessionary rates.

I currently work as a therapist for a leading private healthcare provider, I have previously worked in schools and a children’s hospice, also specialist organisations including bereavement, and sexual abuse.

I have a wealth of experience in helping clients through various difficulties including: anxiety including social anxiety, school related stress, OCD, low self-esteem, work related stress, low mood and depression, social isolation, relational difficulties, loss and grief, life limiting or life threatening diagnoses, abuse, parenting, pregnancy and the loss of a child, menopause, neurodiversity, self-harming behaviours and suicide ideation, also trauma including PTSD.

I have a particular interest in women’s health and the impact of symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause. Some women feel unsupported by their GP or are offered medication such as anti depressants rather than alternatives.

I offer a non-judgmental, confidential and safe environment where you will be able to gain a deeper self-awareness to understand yourself differently, explore the difficulties you might be experiencing, and find different tools to manage. I am able to adjust the way I work and my therapeutic approach, to suit your needs and preference.

Working with a variety of sectors, people from different age groups and difficulties, has given me the opportunity to work therapeutically with people from different backgrounds and cultures. I have a very good understanding how stressful life can be, how that can impact wellbeing and how we view ourselves and others.
