Welcome! My aim as your counsellor is to provide you with a safe and accepting space in which we can explore the reasons that bring you to counselling, and work together to bring you to a place of healing, growth and restoration. My integrative approach draws on different ideas and strategies, allowing flexibility to suit the needs of the individual. I will work with you to set goals and allow you to set your own pace. I am experienced in working with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self esteem and body image. I can help you to manage stress, or identify unhelpful behavioural patterns that are keeping you stuck.
I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative counsellor, and I have worked with young people for over 25 years. I am trained to work with Eating Disorders, including restrictive eating, living in larger bodies and other disordered eating patterns. I am also a committed Christian, although accepting of all faiths and none.
I would love to hear from you if you would like to find out more about how we could work together. I offer a free initial session, in which we would get to know each other, and we can discuss what brings you to counselling and answer any questions you may have about the way I work. I look forward to hearing from you.
