I am an experienced psychotherapist & counsellor offering therapy for teens, adults, and/or carers.

I am passionate about my work and hope to offer a calm, peaceful, reflective space within which to work. I appreciate the significance of working with another person, towards self-understanding and healing, often through exploration of difficult issues.

I specialise in working with life changes, relationship concerns, workplace issues, bereavement & loss, carers.

In addition to private practice, I work within university staff counselling services, having previously worked in community-based counselling & psychotherapy services, NHS mental health services; as a university mentor & tutor, working with mental health, neurodiversity, disability; lecturer in higher education.

In practice I take a person-centred approach, exploring what may have brought you to therapy, identifying any specific goals, or expressed preferences, before deciding, through a process of shared decision making, the most effective ways to help you to process your experiences.

I offer empathy, acceptance, and authenticity in therapy, to create a strong therapeutic relationship which encourages reflection, openness, emotional safety, self-acceptance, within a safe, effective, therapeutic alliance.

As my own life experiences influence the way in which I work, I am interested in developing a supportive therapeutic relationship, within which to explore your concerns or any presenting difficulties,  working with you towards achieving your personal and/or professional goals.
