About me

My initial interest in embarking on a counselling and psychotherapy career began after my own personal experience with counselling.

Through awareness of my past, I was able to acknowledge the difficulties I was experiencing in my present life and work towards making changes in developing a greater fulfilment for my future.

I am passionate about working with you on any difficulties you are facing in an ethical, empathetic and warm approach.

I have experience working as a senior counsellor and psychotherapist within two GP surgeries covering a variety of themes such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and health issues. I have experience working with individuals who are survivors of childhood and adult abuse with a range of themes such as self-harming behaviours, identity issues and relationship issues (both for individuals and couples) and I have experience working with children and young people as well as bereavement.
