About me and my therapy practice

About Me

I'm a fully qualified Therapist with over 10 years experience in Private Practice. I’m a Member of the BACP and I abide by their code of ethics

I had a varied career before becoming a Counsellor, working in financial services in The City, other office based jobs, factory and warehouse work as well as experiencing redundancy. I believe this broad range of experience helps me to relate to people from every walk of life and understand the pressures we often find ourselves under in the modern world.

I have been through counselling myself, so I know what it’s like to take the first steps into therapy as well as the empowerment, new insights and confidence it can provide. I became a Counsellor because I’m passionate about helping others.

Practice description

How I Work

I take an integrative approach, tailoring therapy to your individual needs. This means sessions may focus on:

- Understanding thoughts, feelings and patterns

- Exploring past experiences and relationships

- Developing coping strategies for anxiety, low mood or stress

- Improving self-esteem, confidence and self-compassion

I believe that feeling safe, understood, and respected is central to effective counselling. You don’t need a clear goal before starting - we will work together to discover what matters most to you.

Areas I Can Help With

I support adults with a wide range of concerns, including:

- Anxiety and stress

- Low mood and depression

- Self-esteem and confidence issues

- Relationship difficulties

- Work-related stress and burnout

- Life changes, grief, feeling stuck, or navigating transitions

- Trauma and past experiences

Qualifications

I undertook 7 years of training in order to work in private practice, which includes a:

- BA Psychology degree.

- Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies.

- Postgraduate Diploma (Masters Level) in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I engage in regular supervision and ongoing professional development to ensure safe and effective practice.
