About me and my therapy practice
A simple, down-to-earth conversation with someone that's willing to figure things out with you. That's what I offer in short. We'll sit down and take as long as we need to find what you're looking for.
I am a qualified person-centred creative counsellor with an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Level 7). I have worked across diverse settings, including schools, hospitals, prisons, and community spaces. My wide-ranging experience supports me in working with a variety of clients.
I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can explore whatever’s on your mind in a non-judgemental environment. I work in a trauma-informed way, recognising how past experiences can shape how we feel, think and respond, and ensuring the work feels safe and at your pace. I also have experience in working creatively with young people and welcome those aged 14+ into my practice.
We can all find ourselves feeling stuck at points in life. Things can become overwhelming, or we reach a point where something needs to change. I support people experiencing anxiety, burnout and self-esteem difficulties, including when anxiety shows up at unwanted times, it feels hard to switch off, or overthinking takes over. This can often be linked to pressures in the workplace or caring roles, leaving you feeling exhausted or disconnected.
My experience lends itself well to the following issues/areas
- Perfectionism
- Anxiety
- Struggling to switch off
- Somatic-based work
- Support for creatives, artists and cultural sector workers
- Work-life-balance
- Calming the nervous system
- Teenagers and Young Adults
Whether you're a burnout working-parent looking for space to breathe, a creative working in fast-paced pressured environments or a young adult wondering how to feel good in yourself. I am offering you the time to simply figure things out.
My practice is rooted in an anti-racist and LGBTQ+ affirming ethos, meaning I am always striving to ensure inclusivity whilst remaining open and responsive to difference and diversity.
