About me

I am a qualified counsellor trained in an integrative approach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, domestic violence, coercive control, grief, bereavement, social anxiety and difficulties arising from childhood. I have a keen interest in trauma and have first hand experience of the unique difficulties that can arise from working in first response services, such as police, fire and prison services.

My therapy style is warm, genuine and empathetic. I strongly believe in treating everyone with compassion, respect and sensitivity. We will work together to ensure you are getting the most from our time together, making sure treatment is tailored to your specific needs. I believe in order to get the most from therapy, you need to be able to feel relaxed and at ease when we are working together. Regardless of your reasons for coming to therapy, I will not judge you and pride myself on treating everyone as equals. Sessions are led by you at your own pace.

I am trained in several counselling styles; cognitive-behavioural therapy, psychodynamic and humanistic counselling. Practising as an integrative counsellor means I am able to draw on theories and concepts from these different styles to find the right individual treatment plan for you. I understand that one approach may work for one person and not others, meaning I ensure all therapeutic interventions are specially tailored to you and your needs. No one knows you better than yourself, so if something isn't working or doesn't feel right we will work together to find what does work for you.

I understand how much courage it takes to reach out and ask for help. You have made the first step on your journey towards change by looking for a therapist - I am here to support and empower you in seeking a happier and more fulfilling life.

I look forward to working together!

I hold Accredited Professional Membership with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (PNCPS Accred).
