I am a registered BACP counsellor/ psychotherapist. 

I am passionate about helping people in their struggles and feel my strength lies in connection with others. I work in an integrative way, using techniques from Person-Centred, Gestault and Transactional Analysis theories while maintaining a core Psychodynamic framework.

​

I strive to be relatable, so if you are interested in theory, I will explain but equally, if that's not your thing, I will speak plainly. I love to use creative ideas if people find just talking too difficult or things are 'stuck'.  I adapt to your personality and needs.

 

I have a background in teaching where I worked with a diverse range of people and learnt a lot about neurodiversity, family issues/ relationships, work related stresses, the effects of bullying, the pressure of our education system etc.  

​

This has certainly helped in my counsellor work understanding people and some of the experiences they describe.

I also have over a years experience counselling for the Charity Inspire.

​

I adhere to BACP's ethical framework and have regular Supervision, personal therapy and ongoing CPD to continual grow my skills and knowledge.
