I am a fully qualified counsellor offering a professional service. My practice is based on a compassionate approach within a confidential and safe environment.

My experience includes working in the psychology department of an NHS hospital; within the wellbeing team of a university, and within charities and in the private sector. My work has included running workshops and CBT based groups for Panic Disorder, Perfectionism, Assertiveness, Anger Management and Depression. I have facilitated Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy groups for depression and anxiety. I have participated in professional teacher training at the Centre for Mindfulness Research & Practice at Bangor University.
