UKCP Registered Psychotherapist. It may be that you are impacted by some past or current difficulties, are feeling stuck, unable to move forward, a lack of control over your life, or repeating old patterns. We all can form ways of coping throughout our lives that may have been necessary at the time, but are no longer helpful to us. I believe all people have the capacity to grow and flourish, given the right environment. I offer a confidential and compassionate space for you to talk about things that you are finding difficult, confusing, overwhelming, or simply want to explore further.

In our sessions, discover a warm, authentic space where understanding prevails. I offer a non-judgmental environment for exploration and growth, guiding you through emotional challenges with empathy. Together, we navigate towards healing, empowering you to confront adversity with confidence and resilience. With over 8 years of experience as an Integrative Counsellor, I seamlessly blend a range of therapeutic approaches—such as Person-Centred, Humanistic, CBT, and Psychodynamic Counselling—to craft a tailored support system that suits your individual needs.

I work with individuals and couples on a range of issues from trauma to life changes, using an integrated approach.

There are a number of reasons why people come for therapy. These reasons may be varied. In a stressful, pressure-filled world, many of us face difficulties that can be hard to overcome, be it in your day-to-day life; in a relationship, depression, loneliness, issues with your job, or an unresolved concern. You often have a better chance of making the changes you want to make when you are supported by a qualified person with experience to help you. I am a qualified, registered and experienced counsellor. We will work together in an open and supportive way, to help you find a deeper understanding of yourself or situation.

We all need support at times in our life, sometimes for a short period of time, maybe to help with confidence regarding a certain situation or maybe we require longer term support to help with untangling our past to help shape our future. Whatever the reason, counselling can be a nurturing and reflecting journey, enabling growth and powerful transformation. I learn from my clients as much as they learn from me, as I believe that we are all equal, spiritual beings on this crazy, beautiful and often chaotic human journey. Please reach out to me if you feel like I could assist you, in your unique journey of transformation and growth.
