I am experienced working with adults and, children and young people, with issues such as bereavements, self-harm, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and living with neurodivergence.
Hello I am a qualified counsellor specialising in pluralistic practice. The pluralistic theory is an integrated approach meaning I am comfortable working in different types of therapy, such as person centred, CBT, and solution focused. The pluralistic approach believes that as human’s we are all unique, and therefore therapy should be tailored towards a client’s specific goals and needs, taking their individual experiences and preferences into account. I am passionate about this approach and believe therapy should be a collaborative effort where the client and counsellor work together towards achieving a shared aim.

I have an additional MA in Womens Studies and a Certificate in Counselling for Children and Youth.
You are probably feeling very upset, alone and confused, maybe even ashamed and wondering if counselling could help? Everyone who comes to therapy has a unique set of issues but the underlying need to share the distress and be understood, is true for everyone. If you are struggling with parenting, postnatal depression, miscarriage or your identity during a life transition, you are not alone. I have lots of experience working with women (and men) who are struggling with life and want to feel better than they currently do. I also help younger people and teens who may have self esteem issues, feel sad, anxious or be self harming.

If you have experienced a one off traumatic incident, or have complex childhood experiences and relationships please do reach out to talk: I have helped many people to overcome the impact that such distressing events have had on their lives.
While I specialise in trauma in my private practise, I have vast experience working with general mental health difficulties such as anxiety, depression, social anxiety, health anxiety and low self-esteem. I also enjoy working to help people in ‘burn out’, whether from stressful work or home environments. In my NHS role I specialise in physical health.

I am highly trained in psychotherapy, neuroscience and trauma and believe that our current issues can often be traced back to early adverse experiences in childhood.
I specialise in working with the impact of traumatic stress on the mind and body. This includes post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but I see many mental health issues as the result of this traumatic stress. For example often the roots of OCD can be traced back to earlier stressful events that need to be reprocessed using bilateral stimulation of the brain
