About Me
I am trained integratively which means I combine methods and understandings from a variety of counselling theories, to best meet your individual needs. My work as a counsellor is based on person-centred theory and the importance of relational connection, and integrates a humanistic approach with attachment theory and coping behaviours that can help with day to day living.
I aim to offer you a therapy space where we can build a collaborative, connected relationship that feels safe and supportive. My role within that is to support you in exploring your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and personal relationships to achieve greater clarity, understanding and the possibility of growth, through increased self-awareness.
I often support clients experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, challenging family dynamics and self-esteem difficulties.
An area of special interest is working with loss and grief, including bereavement by suicide, delayed grief and perinatal loss. I have been a helpline volunteer for the PANDAS Foundation and spent three years as a bereavement counsellor in a local hospice working with patients and family members. I also offer a safe and supportive counselling space to explore anticipatory loss for carers of people living with life-limiting and chronic illnesses.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to their Ethical Framework and professional standards. I am committed to providing the best service I can to all of my clients and am supported by regular supervision to ensure my practice is safe and current.

My Own Journey
Before training to become a counsellor I spent many years working in both state and independent education, in HR administration and training. Over time I realised that my relationships with people, both staff and students, were far more important to me than working with statistics and spreadsheets and that I very much wanted to re-train for a career that I had been interested in for a long time. I love what I do and it is a privilege to sit alongside each of my clients and be part of their story, whether briefly or for a longer period of time.
