About me

I have been working as a qualified integrative counsellor since 2006. I draw on my diverse training and experience to find the right therapeutic approach for each client. I specialise in supporting people dealing with depression, anxiety, bereavement, work stress, relationship and family issues, abuse and general feelings of unhappiness. I work from home, in a private and confidential space, and create a warm non-judgemental environment.

In starting my work with clients, I spend time understanding the presenting issues and getting to know all the relevant elements of their life. I focus hard on developing a trusting relationship, that empowers clients to share sensitive and difficult feelings, to begin processing them, to find some form of resolution and to enable them to make positive changes.

I have nearly 20 years of experience working for charities, specialist services (including youth and bereavement) and for the NHS. I am able to provide both short and longer term support and have experience of working with clients of all ages and backgrounds.

I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling from CPPD Counselling School. I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and abide by their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I qualified in 2006.

In recent years I have attended trainings on issues such as eating disorders, suicide prevention, Counselling for Depression, working with shame, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
