I'm an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and have a background in learning and development.

I use a range of interventions with clients, depending on your needs. I work with whatever you choose to bring to our sessions and create a safe, empathic and non-judgemental environment in which you can explore and better understand your thoughts and feelings.

I'm also an NLP Practitioner and believe my background in people development and coaching further enhances my counselling practice.

I'm a clinical Supervisor, providing Supervision to other therapists and work closely with a number of schools providing support to Safeguarding and Pastoral teams.

I have also worked for charitable organisations working with adults and young people with a range of presenting issues. I have also been an Advocate, representing under 18s at Child Protection Conferences.

I am passionate about the outdoors and how nature can have a positive effect on our mental wellbeing. so I can offer Nature therapy when appropriate. 

I offer face-to-face, online and phone counselling.
