Identifying the thoughts, feelings and inner struggles that are holding you back can be daunting, but my role is to walk alongside you, enabling you to find clarity, calm, and good mental health. Central to my counselling ethos is the importance of creating a safe, non-judgemental place, where you are free to be yourself, and to explore any aspect of life that is important to you.
As a neuroaffirming therapist with over three decades of experience working to support people with their mental health and self-development, you can be confident you are in safe hands. I have experience with neurodivergence, anxiety, trauma and depression, and my role lecturing on a counselling degree keeps me up-to-date with the latest theory and practice
The relationship of trust between a client and counsellor is central to the therapeutic process, therefore I offer all prospective clients the opportunity to meet for an initial (free) twenty-minute consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.

My integrative training allows me to draw from whichever modality best supports you in the moment. I always start from a place of warmth, acceptance and kindness. My practice is routed in the belief that you are in the driving seat, with me as your co-pilot, ready to take the journey with you.
