About me and my therapy practice

I offer a kind and calm therapeutic space where you can feel safe to bring your challenges and explore your world. Life involves struggle for all of us and it is a sign of courage and wisdom to seek support; I am glad that your search has brought you here.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor with a person-centred core approach. I will be with you in a empathic, non-judgemental and genuine way, using therapeutic approaches that respect your needs as a whole person.

Whatever it is that is bringing you to therapy, I know from personal experience the growth that comes from finding clarity with compassion in counselling. I aim to provide the best conditions to nurture your process of becoming unstuck. It is a privilege to be trusted with your story. Please contact me to get started with a free introductory phone call. 

I provide a safe space for people who have been made to feel unwelcome elsewhere for reasons relating to their age, class, gender, pregnancy or maternity status, disability, race, religion, sex or sexual orientation.

Qualifications and training

I have a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling (NCPS Accredited). I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

My additional training includes:

- Bereavement Support Certificate (Cruse - NCPS quality checked)

- Mindfulness for Counsellors course (Mindful Therapies)

- Treating Trauma Master Series (NICABM: National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioural Medicine)

I am interested in exploring bibliotherapy, inner child work and somatic bodywork with clients.
