About me

I offer face-to-face, online, and telephone counselling sessions for adolescents (11+), adults, couples, and families.
My practice provides Counselling, Animal-Assisted Therapy, Rewind Trauma Therapy, EMDR, and the Flash Technique.
I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor, NCPS Professional Accredited Therapist qualified since 2013, and a qualified Therapeutic Supervisor since 2019.

My approach is primarily Person-Centred, integrating other therapeutic models where appropriate, including Solution-Focused Therapy, aspects of CBT, DBT, and bereavement-focused approaches.

I work collaboratively with clients to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where they feel heard, understood, and supported.
Together, we can explore how past experiences may be influencing the present, address current challenges, and identify practical ways forward. Sessions are always confidential, non-judgemental, and tailored to your individual needs, goals, and aspirations.

Animal-Assisted Therapy
Clients have the option of being joined by my therapy pets: Neisha (cat) or Moly (Chihuahua). Many people find animals help them feel calmer, more relaxed, and able to talk more openly.
Research shows that interacting with animals can reduce stress, improve mood, promote relaxation, and support confidence and emotional wellbeing. Therapy pets can be particularly helpful when exploring anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, mindfulness, and emotional regulation.

Alongside my professional training, I have lived experience and extensive knowledge in supporting clients with:
Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma
Bereavement, including baby, child, and pet loss
Relationship difficulties and divorce
Domestic abuse
Pregnancy and maternal support
Chronic illness, pain, disability, Fibromyalgia, CFS, and Arthritis
Childcare, fostering, family issues, and caring responsibilities, work related and family issues,
Nursing, social care, older adults, children, and adolescents.
I also offer support with career development, confidence building, self-employment, business ideas, and achieving professional goals.
Awards
I was honoured to receive the Best Private Practice Award 2020 (CTUK National Counsellors Day) and the Best Family Counsellor Award 2023/24 (Prestige Awards). I also own and run a local award-winning pet care company.

My therapy room is a peaceful, private, and welcoming space designed to help you feel comfortable and at ease. Parking is available on my driveway, and there is a bus stop directly outside at Wheatcroft Garage.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards greater wellbeing, self-understanding, and positive change.

Areas of interest

Animal-Assisted Therapy, Trauma & Emotional Wellbeing;
Animal-Assisted Therapy can help you feel more relaxed, comfortable, and able to express yourself. Interacting with animals is proven to increase feel-good hormones such as serotonin, prolactin, and oxytocin, helping to reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood, boost self-esteem, and promote relaxation. I work alongside my therapy cat Neisha and Molly my small therapy dog, whose calming presence can help make sessions feel more comfortable

Other areas;
I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, low self-esteem, loss, trauma, and emotional distress.

Trauma;
For trauma, I offer Rewind Trauma Therapy and EMDR, both effective approaches for reducing the impact of distressing memories, flashbacks, nightmares, and intrusive thoughts. Rewind Therapy can be used on its own or combined with counselling, helping clients process past and current trauma and move forward with greater confidence and wellbeing.
