About Me
I have been described as a warm, empathetic, compassionate individual, who can offer a safe space for individuals to explore their emotions and come to their own conclusions. I believe we all face challenges in life, and we all hold a key to unlock and overcome these challenges with the right support. My aim is to create a safe therapeutic alliance, so you feel empowered, supported, nurtured, and encouraged through your difficult time.
​
We are all unique individuals and counselling is not a one size fits all. I will incorporate other techniques and modalities I have been trained in to cater for each client specific needs.

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right-hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds”.

Qualifications and Experience
​
My core training is in the Person-Centred Approach but over the years I have continued to grow and develop my practice, which has enabled me to shape and enhance my work. I utilise elements of other modalities to suit my client’s personal needs. I am an Accredited Counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their professional ethical guidelines. This ensures I work within the guidelines and ethical boundaries of the organisation. You can find further information by visiting their website BACP

I have worked for the NHS for a number of years in several roles. I worked as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) and currently as a Counsellor. I have worked with clients from all walks of life who require long-term and short-term therapy with a wide range of difficulties.
