As an integrative counsellor, I artfully combine the person-centred modality which is working with the here and now and psychodynamic - working with the unconscious, sometimes the inner child and what came before, shaping a non-directive, client-led approach tailored to individual needs. Believing profoundly in the importance of a safe, held, trusting therapeutic relationship. I provide a secure, non-judgmental space for clients to navigate their inner selves.

Each client is seen as a unique expert in their experiences, nobody knows you better than you and i will never claim to. Together building a collaborative journey toward self-discovery and growth. My commitment lies in offering honest confidential support, empowering you to explore challenging thoughts and emotions, and ultimately facilitating your path to healing and self-development without judgment. I am down to earth and myself, I offer what I have and together if it feels right we can develop and move on from there.

Deeply committed to delivering empathetic and effective therapeutic support, I am constantly learning and devoting my skills as well as my two decades in the emergency services and my personal lived experience bring practical knowledge to my counselling practice. I don’t claim to know how you are feeling, I believe we are the expert on ourselves. What I can do, is sit alongside you, listen, validate and in a variety of creative ways, help you explore your experience and support you to navigate through it.

Specialising in alcohol addiction ADHD, self esteem, domestic violence, mental health, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, confidence, shame and survivors of sexual abuse, I seamlessly blend person-centred and psychodynamic modalities and offer creative innovative ways to explore a clients narrative. Not everyone wants to sit in a chair facing a therapist and talk, for those that do, I offer that. For those who find this kind of therapy difficult, we can work together to find ways that suit you, the client, to explore your needs.

Ensuring a non-directive, client-led experience that prioritises individual growth and self-discovery, I firmly believe that successful counselling is rooted in the therapeutic relationship. I establish a safe, secure, non-judgmental space for clients to delve into their inner selves, recognising them as experts in their experiences. Life for clients can often feel like a scrambled-up ball of wool, overwhelming and chaotic. I can help you to snip a small bit off, explore, and try to make sense of it. There doesn’t have to be an end date, we can take as much or as little time as you need.

My commitment extends to providing a honest, safe, confidential and supportive environment, allowing clients to navigate challenging thoughts and emotions without being judged. By co-creating the right conditions, my aim is to facilitate growth, self-discovery, and healing. Together, we can embark on a transformative journey toward resilience and positive change, and I am able to incorporate unique creativity into our work if clients wish to explore in this way. From art, fairy tales, sand, paint, stones, collages, cards, and much more, there is plenty on offer to help explore and navigate as your needs require. Holding a mirror up can be overwhelming and scary, sometimes we need to look at things from different angles to be able manage and I pride myself in being able to work with clients in a way that allows exploration to suit every client’s individual needs.
