My Approach

I’ve helped people to work through many issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and self-confidence, trauma and PTSD, bereavement and loss, stress, loneliness and social anxiety, neurodiversity and adult diagnoses (e.g. ADHD), suicidal thoughts and the legacy left by abuse and neglect. Please see the list below for the full details of what I see in my practice. 

Rather than meeting you with a singular way of working in mind, as an integrative counsellor I call upon a breadth of well-researched and supported approaches and seek to establish a therapeutic relationship which will enable us to work together, side by side, on what you choose to bring to your sessions.

I’m passionate that change is possible but equally aware that at the start, many clients don’t feel that way. I see you as a whole person in the context of your life, appreciating your experiences in mind, body and soul and give as much focus to your past as to your present. I offer a calm and personal approach to help you to observe your feelings, behaviours and beliefs and how they have affected your life and am experienced at working in a trauma-informed way, prioritising emotional safety and helping you to grow in your awareness, calm your anxieties and develop your own meaningful inner compassion.

About Me

I’m a fully qualified, registered and experienced psychotherapeutic integrative counsellor and provide compassionate, empathic and confidential private counselling to a wide variety of clients. I care deeply about providing a safe space for you to explore your experiences, feelings and thoughts in order to feel better in life. After over 25 years working in 'people' roles in award-winning international businesses, I retrained as an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor and I have 'lived experience' of some of the challenges that life can bring and carry a deep devotion to mental wellness for all. Change *is* possible.

I have an Advanced Diploma and a BSc (Hons) in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling. I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and my training was accredited by the UKCP. I abide by their codes of ethics and professional standards. I am currently researching postgraduate opportunities to continue my learning and further deepen my offering to my clients.
