About Me

My journey into Counselling and Psychotherapy began many years ago as an Emotional Literacy Support Advisor (ELSA) and Counselling Skills User working with young people. In 2019, and after many years of further study, I felt that the time was right for me to embark on my own private practice.

​

My time working with young children and their families, along with raising my own children has provided me with a wealth of life experiences. It is these experiences which allow me to offer the most important qualities of counselling, which I believe are kindness, understanding, patience, empathy, and a non-judgmental approach.

​

I have trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gestalt, along with Humanistic and Person-Centred Counselling. Each of these modalities allow me to offer a personalised service which is designed to meet my client’s needs.

​

Alongside my studies and work I have volunteered for a bereavement charity and a local college.

​

Although life can be busy, I recognise the importance of taking time for myself, to relax and recharge my batteries. I enjoy walking with the dogs in the forest, keeping fit with yoga as well as practising meditation and mindfulness.
