About me

I am an experienced, accredited counsellor and psychotherapist who works with adults from all backgrounds.
I work with various issues including anxiety, depression, phobias, relationship issues, bereavement, PTSD and trauma.
I chose initially to train as a person-centred counsellor, as the core conditions of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard are vitally important to developing a therapeutic alliance. It is my firm belief that it is “the relationship that heals” and as such, I like to develop a collaborative approach to working with all my clients.
In addition to my person-centred roots, I draw from various theories to meet each of my clients own unique requirements. These approaches include CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and EMDR.
