All of us, at some point in our lives, are likely to feel overwhelmed by our feelings, thoughts, and/or circumstances. Anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, relationship breakdowns, single parenting, bereavement, loss, family issues etc. can leave us struggling to function as well as we would like. I am passionate about supporting all my clients through difficult situations and empowering them to reach their full potential. I can offer you a confidential, supportive, welcoming and non-judgemental space where we can look in detail at what is distressing you, and work together to find the best way forward.
In addition to counselling adults, children and young people at my private practIce, I was previously a Senior Counsellor and Family Worker at ‘Let’s Talk Well’, a School Counsellor at a grammar school, and the Wellbeing Lead at a boarding school, working with ages 5 - 19 years from various different backgrounds and nationalities.
I am an Integrative Counsellor, which means that I am trained in several models of therapy and I will tailor therapy to suit your needs. Most importantly, my main training has been in 'the school of life' where I have had to face and deal with situations that I would not have chosen. I would love to support you through whatever you are going through!
