I am a Integrative Counsellor and have been practising since 2016. The approach I use means I work collaboratively, combining different therapeutic perspectives with the clients needs and experiences both past and present. The relationship between myself and a client will be one that is non judgemental, genuine, and a welcoming one, a space which is confidential and your voice can be heard and listened to. I have several years of experience of working with victims of domestic abuse, and hate crime. I offer a therapeutic space that is both sensitive and responsive to culture, religion, disability and sexuality.

I am qualified to work with people with anxiety, bereavement and loss, depression; identity confusion and change; coming out; self-esteem and shame, trauma and post-traumatic stress and also survivors of sexual abuse. I work with both individuals and couples. I am experienced in working with young people and adults and with people in a range of relationship styles including monogamous, polyamorous and open relationships. I work with all members of LGBT+ and those who do not identify as such but are questioning or exploring this aspect of their sexuality, regardless of their sexual orientation.

I work in a safe space where my clients can learn to understand their thought processes and why they feel the way that they do. I then use psychological models, my training and experience to tailor strategies for each individual to help that person to work towards his/her goals for personal change, growth and self-development. My work is goal-oriented and is evidence-based. I employ personalised techniques that enable clients to understand what blocks them from reaching their potential, and then help them to achieve the life that they want for themselves. My experience thus enables me to work flexibly/empathically & ethically sound

If you are feeling overwhelmed with anxiety or having stress in your relationships, daily life can seem very hard. Low mood and sadness could leave you feeling lonely or even isolated. Perhaps you find yourself putting on a pretence that everything is okay, when the reality is very different. You might be unclear about what is troubling you. As an experienced counsellor, I provide affordable therapy in a confidential, safe environment, helping you make sense of how you’re feeling. Counselling can also give you practical ways of coping; I will work at your pace during sessions so that you feel truly heard and accepted, not judged.

That’s why I take a person-centred approach to therapy, where your voice and concerns are the focus of the therapy. This may seem obvious at first look, but it means that the support you receive will be tailored for your needs. It also means is that your life will be at the forefront of all our conversations, because when you have someone working with you, making sure your voice is heard and your needs are met, life is much is easier to live.

Sometimes life can feel difficult and speaking to friends or family is not enough. I aim to create a safe therapeutic space that respects and embraces your individuality, enabling you to talk, feel and be yourself, without judgement.

We can explore how your past experiences may be influencing your present. Whether it is navigating relationships, managing stress, or exploring identity, I will support you on your journey towards self-discovery, positive change and resilience.

You might turn to therapy for a number of reasons: having faced a life-changing event: trauma, bereavement, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or low self- esteem. You may struggle with functioning day to day, or feel overwhelmed by feelings and emotions that you don’t understand. Past life events can also get in the way of living your life in the present moment, and you may struggle to connect with others and feel isolated. Perhaps you feel as though no one really listens, or understands what you are going through. This is where confidential help and support in the form of therapy could be the answer.

I believe that each person's needs are unique, and my training allows me to tailor a variety of approaches to meet your specific requirements. In our sessions, you are my highest priority—here, you can be completely yourself without fear of judgment. I have unconditional positive regard and empathy for you and may offer gentle challenges when you are ready, to help embrace change, build resilience, and foster growth. You may also be seeking a safe space where acceptance thrives, to develop self-care and self-compassion . My style during sessions is adaptive to suit you and we will work collaboratively and transparently.
