About me

I work mostly online via video-call, and have some capacity for face to face appointments. I can offer a range of times to suit you, including some early evenings.

Please contact me if you would like to arrange a free, no-obligation conversation. This is an opportunity for us to talk about what you would like to gain from counselling, and to ask any questions you may have.

I have over 20 years' experience of being a calm voice and listening ear working with people in difficult situations, firstly with Citizens Advice and now as a fully qualified counsellor with an MA in Counselling. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) https://www.bacp.co.uk and the Association of Christian Counsellors (ACC) https://www.acc-uk.org.

If we both feel we can work together, we can then arrange our first appointments. I always value feedback and am happy to hear what does and doesn't work for you in therapy. If for any reason you decide not to book further sessions, I will do my best to signpost you to someone appropriate, if that's what you wish.

I love working with all kinds of people, whether you have a faith or not, and I’m totally supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. I run an inclusive practice and believe everyone, regardless of gender or sexual identity, deserves the same level of care.

• Counsellors have a lot of different ways they can work with clients. I use a mix of therapies to tailor my approach just for you, including:

• A person-centred approach that sees you as the expert on your own life, helping you unlock your full potential.

• Psychodynamic theories that dig into the subconscious and how past experiences and memories shape our present.

• Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) that looks at how unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected, plus practical strategies to shift your thinking.

• Creative therapeutic activities that can help when you’re struggling to find the right words.
