About me

I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with 25 years of experience counselling adults, and young people from a wide range of cultural, religious and diverse backgrounds. I am a neuro-affirmative and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. My counselling method is based on Person-Centred Therapy principles. I work using a trauma-informed approach as well.

My person-centred principles mean I provide a non-judgemental, empathic space for clients to reflect on past and/or present experiences, their negative thoughts and overwhelming feelings, develop coping behaviours, and explore the impact these have on their everyday lives. My aim is to enable clients to find their own inner resources for resolving personal problems. I help individuals identify underlying causes to their mental health concerns, find more effective ways of coping, handle life challenges, manage change, build resilience and create a more fulfilling way of life.
