About me and my therapy practice

As a humanistic counsellor, I offer a non-judgemental, empathic space. I am client led and trauma-informed in my approach. I work from a place of wholeness, always assuming that, as long as you are breathing, there is more right with you than wrong with you. As a former counsellor with Cruse I have extensive experience working with bereavement, including with persons who were bereaved during lockdown and by Covid 19. work consciously with clients from a variety of background and life experiences. I am committed to uncovering the ways in which culturally embedded power dynamics show up within me. I am gender, sexuality and relationship diversity affirmative.

For me, the relationship is key, and an initial session would be a chance for us to feel whether I’m the right person for you. I love the Anne Lamott quote: ‘My mind is a bad neighbourhood that I try not to go into alone’. I don’t have all the answers, but I can be by your side as you visit some difficult places. And who knows, maybe some unexpected and joyful places too.
