About me

Looking into therapy might be a new experience for you, but you're looking into it for a reason; whether it's work-related stress, relationship issues, feeling low or anxious, experiencing low self-esteem, or trying to process something that has had an impact on your wellbeing.

I offer a safe space for you to talk about it and say things that you may find difficult to say to anyone else, things you may not want to even say out loud. You won't be judged, you will be accepted, heard and valued. I'm very down to earth, open minded and do not shock easily. My aim is to help you feel at ease so that we can work together to improve your wellbeing.

I am an integrative therapist, which means I have trained in various methods of therapy and can tailor sessions to suit each person's needs - whether that's providing a listening ear, exploring issues at a deeper level, and/or providing tools/techniques to help work through the struggles of ongoing stresses and anxieties.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked for over 20 years in roles where I provided practical and emotional support to my clients; working with victims of serious crime, children at risk, vulnerable adults, LGBTQ+ clients, asylum seekers and refugees. I have almost 4 years' experience of providing therapy to clients experiencing cancer at various stages; from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.

I provide therapy sessions over the phone or via video call using Teams. I also provide face to face sessions from my purpose made therapy room, which has a relaxed and calming feel to it.
I appreciate that finding the right therapist is not always easy.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation, so that we can have a chat about what is going on for you and to get an understanding of what you feel you need from therapy. This can be over the phone or in a video call - whichever you feel most comfortable with.
