About Me

I value individuality, and I help people to value their own individuality too. How we feel may conflict with how we think we’re supposed to feel in response to life events. I am able to accompany my clients in their sadness, chaos, depression and confusion, and I help people to give a voice to their true feelings in a space where they won’t be judged for this. This is an empowering process which gives clients the confidence to be their true selves.

I also have a lot of knowledge and experience of working with Complex PTSD, so I work in a trauma-informed way. I recognise how adverse experiences in formative years can impact on you in present day.

My primary way of working is person-centred, but I draw from other approaches to meet your needs. I also have a background in visual art, and I may suggest creative ways of expression from time to time if I feel it could be beneficial.

Alongside my private work, I have also worked in a college, a domestic violence service, and a local mental health charity as a counsellor. I have experience of working with a diverse range of clients of all ages, with a wide range of issues which include (but is not limited to) anxiety, panic disorder, depression, domestic violence, guilt, shame, self-harm, PTSD / CPTSD, bereavement (including bereavement by suicide), identity issues, low self-esteem, and work-related stress.​

I provide telephone and online counselling, via Zoom.
