About me

Many of the people I work with are managing well on the outside, but may be carrying more than others realise. They may be experiencing anxiety, loss, change or uncertainty. Sometimes there is a clear reason for seeking therapy; at other times people simply have a sense that something does not feel right.

I am a BACP Senior Accredited counsellor/psychotherapist with an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy. I have worked with adults of all ages in a range of counselling and psychotherapy settings.

I have worked as a therapist within the NHS and in higher education wellbeing services, including managing a university counselling service. I have also provided supervision and support to hospice and primary care staff, giving me experience of working alongside people facing complex personal and professional challenges.

Before retraining as a therapist, I worked in communications roles across the private and public sectors. Having spent many years working within large and often complex organisations, I understand some of the pressures and expectations that can come with professional life.

I have also volunteered with organisations including Age UK, Alzheimer's Society, Cruse Bereavement Support and Samaritans.

About my practice
I provide both short and longer-term therapy to adults of all ages; I also offer reflective supervision to qualified counsellors and non-counselling professionals.

I currently offer sessions in person in Leeds and by phone/video.

As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on ideas and approaches from different therapeutic traditions, including humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapies, adapting my approach to the person rather than following a single model.

Therapy may involve exploring patterns that have developed over time and considering how past experiences and relationships continue to influence the present. It may also involve finding ways to live with losses, changes or uncertainties that cannot simply be resolved.

Many people I work with are used to putting their own feelings to one side or wondering whether they are overreacting. Sometimes this reflects earlier experiences of not feeling fully heard or understood, even within caring relationships. Therapy can offer a different experience: a place where thoughts and feelings can be explored without being dismissed or explained away.

Areas of interest

I am a BACP Senior Accredited therapist and work with adults of all ages experiencing a wide range of difficulties including: low mood; anxiety; bereavement and loss; and periods of significant change or transition.

I have a particular interest and experience in working with loss and change in all its forms. This includes supporting people after sudden and traumatic loss or other significant life events, and also exploring the questions that can arise when circumstances change and people begin to see themselves, their relationships and their past experiences differently.

I also support people experiencing work-related pressures, including compassion fatigue and burnout, as well as difficulties relating to professional boundaries and organisational change.
