I work with adults (18+), and have specific experience working with students and young adults as they navigate a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. I pride myself in the relationship I build with clients who tell me I offer a warm, empathic, safe, non judgemental and trusting space to explore their experiences and associated thoughts and feelings. I believe you already have the capacity for growth and healing within you. My role is simply to help you reconnect with, and trust, that inner strength.
After spending over 15 years in Financial Services — across IT, Communications and Programme Management — I discovered a passion for psychology and counselling. I believe the breadth of my life experience prior to entering the counselling profession enriches everything I bring to my therapeutic work and an understanding of the challenges of every day life.
I place great importance on the relationship we build together, one of safety, non judgement, empathy and trust. My approach focuses on understanding you as a whole person. Your thoughts, feelings, and the life experiences that have shaped who you are today. We work together to explore what's happening now, and how your past may be impacting your present.
