About me and my therapy practice
I offer counselling for individuals, couples, children, and young people aged 4–18, as well as support for parents navigating the emotional, relational, and developmental challenges that can arise at home. Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I provide a safe, confidential, and grounded space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted.
My approach is rooted in respect, empathy, and curiosity. I believe that healing happens through relationships, and this sits at the heart of my practice. I work collaboratively, at your pace, creating a therapeutic relationship where you can explore your experiences with honesty and without judgement.
I am trained in Integrative Counselling, drawing on Person‑Centred, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Existential approaches, the Christian worldview, and creative techniques. This allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs rather than taking a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.
When working with children and young people, I use developmentally attuned, play‑based, and creative methods to support emotional expression, regulation, and a sense of safety. Sessions may include art, storytelling, games, or metaphor—approaches that help children communicate in the ways that feel most natural to them.
Alongside my counselling qualifications, I hold a BA (Hons) in Social Work and have completed extensive additional training, including Mental Health First Aid, Suicide Prevention, Neurodiversity, Trauma‑Informed Practice, and Restorative Practice. My background in social work and safeguarding strengthens my ability to support families with complex needs and to work sensitively with trauma, relational difficulties, and neurodiversity.
