Sometimes, the thought of talking to a friend or loved-one about our problems makes us feel like a burden. Sometimes, there just isn't someone to talk to that we feel will understand, or care about, what we're going through. That's where I come in. With me, you will have the opportunity to unpack the overwhelming and stressful thoughts and feelings in your brain. Together we can untangle these emotions by exploring how your thoughts and feelings are affecting your behaviours, reactions and life choices. As a result, you get these powerful and enlightening lightbulb moments which are also known as aha moments. These aha moments will show you how your experiences and choices have brought you to where you are now. This new clarity will allow you to make the choices and changes enabling you to better cope with life's challenges, and flourish. I work with young people aged over 13, and adults. I have experience with neurodiversity and Couples Therapy

I have a background in palliative care social work but it's the therapeutic side of the work which I found most rewarding so decide to retrain as a counsellor.

I have levels 2-4 (Diploma) in Counselling.

I have additional training in Couples Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Working with Young People

I am fully insured, enhanced DBS and registered with the NCPS

Couples

Young People aged 13+ including those with additional needs.

Adults with common mental health issues including anxiety, depression, lack of motivation and confidence, poor self-esteem and loss.

I can offer a variety of ways of working, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and creative techniques, with the person-centred model at the core of all I do. This means I create a safe, confidential space to enable you to bring whatever it may be that is causing you concern. I am an empathic, compassionate therapist who will actively listen to you without judging.
