I am a qualified integrative counsellor with a strong foundation in the person-centred approach, which remains the heart of my work. I believe deeply in each person's capacity to grow, heal and flourish when offered a safe empathetic and non-judgmental space.

My training includes:

• Person-Centred Counselling 

• Psychodynamic theory

• Gestalt

• Transaction Analysis

• Cognitive Behavioural approaches

While I work integratively, my natural orientation is humanistic and relational.

I am committed to ongoing continual professional development and intend to deepen my training in:

• ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

• REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy)

Alongside private practice, I work in the NHS offering Psychospiritual work in both acute and mental health settings.

My practice is primarily aimed at women, offering a warm, confidential and collaborative therapeutic space.

I offer:

• Face to face sessions
• Online sessions
• Telephone sessions
• Email therapy
• Short term and long-term work
• Hybrid arrangements

I attend regular clinical supervision and I am in personal therapy, ensuring I work ethically, reflectively and safely.

I follow the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø Ethical Framework and hold full professional indemnity insurance.

My strongest foundation is the Person-centred Approach but I working integratively and pluralistically, adapting therapy to the unique needs of each client.

Areas I can help with:

- Mild to moderate mental health issues

- Life transitions and adjustments

- Relationship difficulties

- General wellbeing and support.

I work within my professional limits and will signpost or refer you to specialist services when  needed.

I do not work with:

- Sexual dysfunction or sexual issues

- Sexual Orientation work

- Children (I am not trained in child counselling)

- Severe or acute mental health crises (e.g. active psychosis)

I am not a children's counsellor either as I am not trained in that area.
