About me
I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor and EMDR Therapist, offering a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where clients can explore the difficulties they are facing at their own pace.
I understand that seeking support can feel daunting, and taking that first step into therapy is often one of the hardest parts of the process. My aim is to help clients feel safe, heard and understood, working collaboratively to develop a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect and authenticity.
I have experience supporting adults with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement and loss, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, trauma and the lasting impact of difficult life experiences.
I am particularly passionate about helping individuals process grief and trauma, recognising that while these experiences are universal, each person's response and journey towards healing is unique.
Alongside my private practice, I have worked within NHS services and have experience providing counselling supervision within Dorset HealthCare NHS Foundation Trust. This has strengthened my understanding of the complexities people face and the importance of offering thoughtful, evidence-based and compassionate care.
My approach is integrative and tailored to each individual. I draw upon different therapeutic models according to a client's needs and, where appropriate, incorporate EMDR therapy to help people process traumatic memories and reduce the emotional impact of distressing experiences.
I work with adults both in person and online across the UK. Whether you are experiencing a specific difficulty or simply feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to begin, I believe therapy can provide an opportunity for greater understanding, resilience and positive change.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards improved emotional wellbeing.
