I am aware of how difficult it can be to take the first step in asking for help. 

I am passionate about helping others better understand themselves to bring about greater self-acceptance and change. I believe that change can lead you to a more fulfilling life and help you to live with greater authenticity. 

I pledge to offer you empathy, a non-judgmental approach, congruence, and warmth in our journey together. This will enable you to explore the sometimes painful feelings, past experiences and stuck patterns of behaviour that may be holding you back.

I have worked in the field of education and mental health for over 20 years. I have a background in teaching and am a trained and experienced Educational Psychologist. 

I understand what it is like to work within a demanding and pressurised environment and the stresses this can bring to work-life balance. I am also aware of the challenges (and joys) of raising a child with special needs or having additional needs yourself. 

I have particular experience of working with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, bereavement, loss, and developmental trauma, where clients have had significant adverse experiences in their early life. 

I am an integrative counsellor which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and techniques that are most appropriate for you as the client and the needs and issues that you bring.

Please note that I offer online counselling sessions and these are for adults aged 18 and above.
