My Approach

As a person-centred therapist I seek to create a safe and confidential space where individuals feel welcome and not judged but accepted and understood; that they then feel able to explore any problems or difficulties that they may be experiencing in life.
My aim is to understand them from their point of view and I see this as a collaborative process (i.e. working together to bring clarity and increased awareness allowing them to make better and more informed choices for themselves.

About Me

Welcome!  I am a Senior Practitioner, a UKCP registered Psychotherapist providing short or long term counselling/psychotherapy. I am an empathic and sensitive person with passionate drive to make a difference to individuals and/or organisations.

I believe that we are all entitled to support or help at times in our lives and given the right environment people have the ability to heal and grow. 

I have considerable experience on a broad spectrum of client issues providing short and long-term counselling/psychotherapy within voluntary, private and public sectors (including GP surgeries, NHS Occupational Health Department, NHS Talking Therapy Service). I have worked effectively with clients, male and female, non binary, ages 16-80; people from various cultural backgrounds and with varying disabilities.

I work with

  • Individuals
  • Private healthcare referrals

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I am interested in working with Autism and have undertaken training in this field. However, I feel that every one of us is individual and no two people with autistic traits will be the same, thus I believe in the person-centred approach which puts the individual and their wants/needs at the centre of their therapy.
I have specialist interest in working with Chronic Illness and specifically medically unexplained symptoms (Chronice Fatigue Syndrome/ME, fibromyalgia, IBS etc) I have experience in facilitating small Groups with long term physical health difficulties (for the NHS). I have experience in working with Long Covid Symptoms.
I am a licensed Counselling for Depression practitioner and have worked within NHS Talking Therapies to provide this service.
Please see above re Chronic Illness.
I have been trained to work with trauma symptoms relating to a wide range of circumstances including relationship abuse/sexual abuse.
