About me and my therapy practice

Guaranteed response to enquiries within 24 hours

I offer therapy in person in Pontefract and online via Zoom, Teams or Google Meet, providing flexibility for clients across the UK.

I'm a BACP Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist, offering compassionate and personalised therapy for adults. I’ve been practising since 2017 and became BACP Accredited in 2019 - a quality mark that reflects my experience, ethical practice and commitment to continued professional development.

As an integrative therapist, I draw from a range of counselling approaches, which means sessions are tailored to suit your unique needs and preferences. My aim is always to meet you where you are and work in a way that feels safe, collaborative and empowering.

I'm also a qualified Clinical Supervisor, supporting other counsellors in their work.

Practice description

In my private practice, I offer support with a wide range of issues and have particular experience in:

Therapy for ADHD and Autism (including self-diagnosed neurodivergence)

Support for LGBTQIA+ clients, including transgender and non-binary individuals

Binge eating, emotional eating and body image issues

Anxiety and depression counselling

Bereavement and grief support

Workplace stress and EAP counselling

I am an affiliate counsellor for several Employee Assistance Programmes, delivering short-term, solution-focused counselling for workplace-related concerns.

My background also includes working in a women-only NHS Talking Therapies service, where I supported clients experiencing complex trauma, childhood sexual abuse, domestic abuse, and other mental health difficulties such as chronic pain, addiction, bereavement, and stress.

Previously, I spent seven years working at the University of Leeds in Disability Services, where I mentored students with Autism, ADHD, mental health conditions and long-term health issues. This role allowed me to support students in a holistic and empowering way, with a focus on both emotional and practical wellbeing.
