I will be away from 7/8/26 - 18/8/26. 

I commit to providing a compassionate environment where you can feel valued and accepted. From this place of safety, together we can begin to explore what is going on for you. It is a space where your thoughts and feelings, your past, and patterns of behaviour can be considered. This can be key to unlocking one of the most powerful things - a greater understanding of, and reconnection with, the self.

I work with adults and young people aged 9 plus. In addition to my core training in Integrative Counselling, I have completed the CPCAB Level 5 Certificate in Counselling Children and Young People. Prior to becoming a counsellor, I spent many years working with d/Deaf children and young people, both in mainstream and specialist settings. I currently work as a Children and Young People’s counsellor with Mind.

Areas in which I have additional understanding and experience:

LGBTQ+ 

Neurodivergence

Veganism

I am committed to providing an inclusive, anti-racist and anti-oppressive practice. I am gender-affirming and welcome people of all genders and sexualities. 

I offer face-to-face sessions at the peaceful setting of Oak House Studio and Therapies in Hatfield. There is a free car park and toilet facilities on site. Hatfield train station is just a 15 minute walk away.

I also work online.

Sessions can be short-term or long-term, depending on your needs and situation. Sessions are 50 minutes and are usually held weekly and at the same time each week. 

I offer a free initial 20 minute conversation for you to tell me a bit about yourself/your young person and to briefly outline your reasons for seeking counselling. This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about counselling or the way I work. 

If you decide to go ahead, in the first full session I will be seeking to understand more about you/your young person and this will involve me asking some questions and taking notes.
