About me

I'm an accredited and experienced therapist, and I'd be honoured to be the compassionate professional by your side as we work to greater clarity and to make positive and lasting change.

I've been qualified for 10 years and in private practice for 7 of these. My experience is wide, and I have worked as a counsellor in a variety of mental health settings including the NHS, a local hospice, a sexual violence charity and alcohol / drug support services. The experience you bring to our counselling sessions is unique, and I welcome all kinds of people in my practice - my commitment is to see you for who you are and support you to flourish in the way you choose. I am also neurodivergent-informed and also work in a trauma-informed way, if this is something we decie would be helpful.

I'll support you in making real and lasting change in your life using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - one of the most modern therapy types and proven to be one of the most successful - and other approaches- so that you feel more in control.

Our confidential work will give you insight and self-understanding to help you feel more at peace with your past and more in control of your present and future.

I work with adults aged 18+ and I offer in-person sessions in Stafford and by video across the whole of the UK, as well as internationally.


Here are some broad areas I work with:

- Untangling what's going on and bringing more clarity to your current situation.
- Helping manage strong, distressful, overwhelming or unhelpful thoughts and feelings you may be experiencing.
- Identifying what drives you and how to make your life and relationships work better for you.
- Changing behaviour you feel has become unhelpful or problematic for you.
- Undoing self criticism and enhancing self care
- Navigating grief or other losses and life crises.

Our work will be tailored to you as an individual. For example, some clients prefer a practical approach with more techniques and tools to take away, while others get more out of simply talking through and exploring what's going on for them. Many clients like a combination of both, and this can change at different stages of our work.
