about me

 I’m an Integrated Psychotherapeutic Counsellor offering support to adults and young people aged 14+. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported as you navigate life’s challenges. 

I have a passion in supporting adults and young people with their mental health and wellbeing. 

Life and relationships can be complex, and at times overwhelming. Talking things through with a professional can help you make sense of your experience and reconnect with yourself. Therapeutic counselling can support deeper self-awareness, emotional understanding, and a greater sense of choice, freedom, and peace.

I work using an integrated therapeutic approach, meaning I tailor my work to you as an individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. This allows therapy to respond flexibly to your needs, experiences, and goals. My work is relational, compassionate, and collaborative, supporting you at your own pace.

  I have experience in supporting people with:

• Stress
• Anxiety and depression
• Low  mood
• Relationship patterns and attachment issues
• ADHD and autism
• Loss, grief, and bereavement

Alongside my private practice, I have worked as a Counsellor in a local secondary school, supporting young people. I also trained with and volunteered with the bereavement charity Cruse https://www.cruse.org.uk/, for a number of years, supporting people through loss.

I have a particular interest in supporting parents and families who have children with SEN, due to my own lived experience of having children with SEN and mental health needs.

  I am a qualified counsellor with:

• CPCAB  Level 5 Postgraduate Qualification in Psychotherapeutic Counselling
• CPCAB  Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
• CPCAB  Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies
• CPCAB  Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Studies
• CPCAB  Level 1 Introduction to Counselling
• Further study on Self-harm, Bereavement, Inner Child, Dreams, Life stages, Working Creatively

 I am a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and work in accordance with their ethical framework.
