About me

With over 20 years experience in the mental health field and 12 years as a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, I bring both depth and compassion to the work I do. I am a BACP-accredited therapist, offering private sessions along side my role as a Clinical Team Manager within an NHS Talking Therapies service. Alongside leading and supporting a multidisciplinary team, I continue to offer therapy as a Person-Centred Experiential - Counselling for Depression practitioner an approach approved within NHS Talking Therapies. Within my private practice, I offer face to face, remote and phone sessions, what ever the client feels comfortable with.
My practice is grounded in the belief that we all hold the capacity to heal within ourselves. My role is to offer a safe, non-judgemental, and empathetic space where you can feel supported to explore difficult emotions and connect with your inner resources. I see therapy as a collaborative relationship one built on trust, presence, and genuine human connection.
In 2023, I completed Level One training in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), which I integrate where appropriate to help people access, process, and move through emotional pain. While I take a primarily person-centred approach, I may also offer practical tools or strategies to support your wellbeing between sessions, depending on what feels helpful for you.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply needing space to make sense of things, I'm here to support you at your pace.
