I provide an empathetic, safe space to explore issues that may affect your whole life experience. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is the key to effective counselling. Finding acceptance of yourself may feel difficult but I know that with help and encouragement, this can be possible. Past experiences may affect how you deal with problems in the present and I can help you in finding a way to move forward. I have an integrative, person-centred approach that uses varied models of humanistic therapy letting you lead the process. I provide a place for the exploration of difficult emotions and will support you in understanding that you have the tools that will ultimately help you continue on your journey. My background is in the arts-heritage sector, having started out as a carpenter-joiner. I live in a neuro-divergent household and have dyslexia myself, so I understand the struggles people may encounter in the education system and more broadly. I am an Integrative Counsellor, and a registered member of the BACP. I have previous experience in NHS settings, having completed the Foundation Psychotherapy year at the Minster Centre and Diploma in Integrative Counselling at The Awareness Centre. I continue to develop my practice through regular supervision and professional training.
