I’ve been through my own struggles with alcohol, and entered residential rehab in 2007 as a single mum of 3 young children. It was an immense challenge but I overcame many demons with the help of empathetic professionals. I decided to retrain from teacher to counsellor so that I could support others in addressing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and live meaningful, contented lives. After 16 years in recovery, I understand that every journey is different but we all strive for the same thing: inner contentment and sustainable change.
I offer 1:1 Addictions Counselling, both online and face-to-face. I will help you to find your own answers to the challenges you’re facing in a non-judgemental, confidential, safe setting. I'm counsellor to many international clients, some of whom need just a brief intervention, whilst others wish to book anything from 6-18 sessions in advance.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During sessions, I'll help you to challenge those thoughts to help improve your feelings for the better.
