Welcome! I have 14 years’ experience helping people with stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem. My style of counselling is highly collaborative, compassionate and engaged. As a person I am down-to-earth, sensitive and good humoured. I take a positive view of symptoms, that they are often the result of coping strategies we developed in order to get through life. At some point these strategies outlive their usefulness and become part of the problem. In addition, much of our distress comes from suppressing and judging our natural thoughts and feelings.

My approach is very open and exploratory, respecting your authenticity and agency at all times. If it feels right together we might: Understand origins of issues, learn how to be with our difficult emotions, and explore the mind-body connection to become more attuned to ourselves.

I strive to be open-minded, socially and culturally aware and am LBGTQ+ friendly. I've worked in Universities (counselling academic and professional staff, as well as students), the NHS, charities and private practice. Please feel free to email me if you’d like to explore working together or have any further questions.

I am also training as a Focusing Practitioner. This is a lovely, gentle way of connecting with the body's wisdom.. This helps us to come out of our busy minds, to be more present and to relate more more comfortably with our difficult emotions. It is a practice of self-acceptance.
