My aim is to offer a warm, compassionate, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can explore whatever’s going on for you, at your own pace. I see counselling as a shared journey — a space where you can be heard, understood, and supported through life's challenges, make sense of your experiences and move towards acceptance and positive change.
I completed my core counselling training in in 2006 I have worked as a counsellor and clinical supervisor in the NHS, private practice and for charities. I have a specialist interest in bereavement and trauma, as well as pregnancy, postnatal depression, and anxiety. I’ve spent the past ten years working in the NHS as a maternity counsellor.
I also teach counselling students in a local college and have students on placement within my NHS role. I particularly enjoy working with student counsellors and supervisees, offering a reflective and supportive space for personal and professional development.
