I am a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor with over 15 years experience, a Registered Member MÌÇÐĹÙÍø (Accred). I comply with the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø Ethical Framework offering a warm, supportive confidential service for individuals.

I am a qualified Integrative and Eclectic Counsellor and Supervisor working with individuals, couples, groups, students and qualified counsellors privately and within organisations.

Lived Experience

In addition to my clinical training, I bring lived experience of working within the emergency services for over 27 years which has deepened my understanding of high-pressure environments, trauma exposure, and the emotional impact of frontline roles. I also have personal insight into neurodiversity, including the strengths and challenges it may bring. These perspectives inform a sensitive, inclusive, and grounded approach to therapy, especially when working with individuals navigating complex systems or feeling misunderstood.

Is Counselling for you?

Each person responds to the events that happen in their lives differently. Your issue, what you would like to bring to therapy is the starting point for our work together. Talking with a therapist can help you understand how to manage difficult feelings, problems, conflict and distress. A way of exploring and untangling thoughts and feelings. It can help you to move on with your life in a more fulfilling way. Anger management, bereavement, anxiety, depression, relationships issues, divorce, eating patterns, child related issues and addiction are just some of the reasons for seeking therapy. You might not feel there is a specific issue, just an uneasiness and a desire to think about that.

Realizing that things are difficult is the first step and you may be wondering if therapy can help. An initial session can help you see if it feels right for you at this time.

How counselling can help

As an integrative counsellor, I offer a tailored approach that draws on person-centered empathy, CBT strategies for change, and psychodynamic insights into past patterns, adapting to your unique needs.

I work integrativley, bringing together three core approaches to provide holistic support.

Person-Centered;  provides a safe, non-judgmental space to feel heard.

Psychodynamic;  explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence your present 

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy);  offers practical tools to manage unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. By combining these, I can offer both deep understanding and practical strategies for change.

My approach is designed to be as unique as you are. I combine the unconditional support of person-centered therapy with the analytical depth of psychodynamic work and the practical focus of CBT. Together, we will work at your pace, safely, to explore your past while equipping you for the present.

What is available

Short or long-term options are available lasting 50 minutes per session. If the problem is specific, a few sessions may be all you want (6 - 12) You might like to work in a more open ended way - taking time to explore your world and perhaps thinking about the meaning of your life and your experiences. Maybe the issues you are facing have been with you for some time and you wish for a space to consider them - without knowing how long it will take.

Please contact me by phone or by email, I am happy to talk about what you are looking for and to arrange a first session.

I have experience of clients in a variety of settings including the NHS, HMP, Primary and Secondary schools, the voluntary sector and private practice.

I offer a free 15 mins introduction 

Individual counselling £45 per session

Couples counselling £55 per session

I offer a supportive and stimulating supervision where counsellors and students can explore and reflect on themselves and their practice. Supervision should be a space to offload confidentially, a place where the supervisee is allowed to grow and be challenged. As a supervisor my aim is to help supervisees feel supported, enriched, resourced and restored. Key to this is developing their own reflective practice based on the key tenets of the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø ethical framework.

​

I am mindful that each supervisee is at a distinct level of learning so it is of paramount importance that I utilise the working alliance and deliver an appropriate platform for supervisees to engage in the various stages of formative, normative and restorative themes to enhance their counselling practice and build confidence.

I offer a free up to 30 min consultation
