.About me

I am a senior counsellor dedicated to supporting staff within the National Health Service (NHS) at a mental health hospital. My experience spans various settings where I provide therapy, including the police and fire services, general practitioners, and occupational health. Additionally, I am a BUPA-approved counsellor.

My passion is to empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives, regardless of the challenges they encounter. I focus on fostering a compassionate relationship with oneself and enhancing awareness of how thoughts, behaviours, and patterns can hinder personal growth. With this new awareness and insight we can navigate alternative coping strategies.

For the past eleven years, I have had the privilege of facilitating support groups for individuals living with Secondary Breast Cancer at Breast Cancer Now. It is both an honour and a privilege to lead these groups.

I was also diagnosed with primary breast cancer in 2023. I have my own personal experience of how challenging a diagnoses is psychological and physically.

In my personal life, I enjoy practicing yoga, mindfulness and staying active.

Areas of interest

I currently work for Breast Cancer Care providing psychological support for women living with a secondary breast cancer diagnosis (www.breastcancernow.org.uk) I have a vast amount of insight and knowledge in relation to the diagnoses of cancer and the psychological impact this has.

Within my NHS role I work in a mental health setting so I'm well aware of the challenges of working on the front line.
