About me

I am experienced in supporting people through a range of life experiences, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family issues, loss, bereavement, identity, neurodivergence, health concerns, long-term health conditions, infertility, pregnancy loss, loneliness, low self-esteem, perfectionism and trauma.
My background spans the NHS, the education sector and the charity sector. In addition to running my own counselling practice I work part-time in Higher Education (mental health support) and I facilitate a monthly support group for the Miscarriage Association.

My approach

My belief is that when we are met with genuine acceptance, open-heartedness and empathy, we can begin a self-healing process that deepens our connection with ourselves and others and helps us to cherish who we are, who we have been and who we might be.

Many clients find that having the time and space to talk to someone who will truly listen, without judgement or agenda, helps them to identify things that are feeling difficult and start to consider what they might need in order to move forward. Whilst talking works for some clients, others might find it more comfortable to use symbolic objects, photographs, imagery, poetry, expressive writing or sand play. I am trained in the use of different methods and my hope is that this can be a space that is tailored to your way of being, your needs and preferences.
