About Me

I am a qualified psychotherapist and a Registered Accredited Member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).

In addition to my private practice, I have worked in a hospice as a bereavement counsellor, and prior to that, for 4 years, I worked within an organisation providing counselling for people who had suffered domestic or sexual abuse. 

Through my own personal life experiences, work experience and therapeutic approach I am able to be compassionate, and work effectively with a wide range of people and issues. 

I know that coming for counselling may feel daunting, I therefore offer a safe, understanding and accepting space where people can feel comfortable to share and explore their fears and issues at their own pace. I work alongside people to build a trusting relationship from which they can not only feel less alone, but also more trusting in themselves. Working together in this way, I find clients become more confident and feel more empowered, increasing their sense of self-worth. From this place, they can begin to find the potential within themselves to accept or resolve the difficulties they are facing, gain more clarity or find a different perspective. 

My practice is non-discriminatory, and as an Accredited Registered Member of the BACP I follow their principles and ethical guidelines (www.bacp.co.uk). 

I hold full Professional Indemnity Insurance and am DBS checked.
