About me

I understand how difficult even contemplating seeking a counsellor or psychotherapist can be, to seek someone you trust, who will not judge you, and at the same time help you feel heard and understood. Building that rapport is vital, and it is my job to help you feel safe and secure in therapy. I do this by being open about how I work, to hold the space for you so that you can bring your difficulties to each session and explore what needs to be explored. I am here to listen with empathy and professionally facilitate your time in therapy. It is important that you receive the therapy that is right for you, and I understand that everyone is an individual with their own individual needs.
In my work I use an integrative way of approach which means I use a number of different therapeutic skills, theoretical models, and life experience to help you navigate the areas of your life that you want to explore. An integrative approach gives me a broader way of working, and it this give clients choice and flexibility when it comes to adapting therapy to suit them, not the other way around.
I specialise in stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma (specifically childhood trauma including PTSD & Complex PTSD), hypnosis and neurodiversity. I also specialise in bereavement and loss counselling following my training with Cruse Bereavement Care.
It can be very daunting to reach out for the first time, however I will always do my best to help you feel more comfortable. I will support you in the best way that I possibly can.
