About me

Have you ever felt misunderstood, stuck or not where you want to be? I can offer you a space where I will see you and not just your problems. I ask what's important to you and meet you where you're at. I work foremost in a person centred way and that means exploring together what you want to bring, to better understand what matters to you without judgement and with empathy. I know the world can feel full of chaos and stress at times, so I always offer a space where you can be youself away from it all by building the tools you need to navigate it in a way that feels lighter and more managable. A bit about my background, I am trained as an integrative counsellor and have worked with a wide range of people and their different experiences, from challenges with daily life, to more complex struggles with mental health. My professional background spans across inpatient mental health, neurology, community care, and hospital discharge over the last 10 years. I bring this experience and knowledge into my work to better connect with the story you bring combined with asking about your personal journey to understand what's most meaningful. I work holistically which means looking at you as a whole person not just the concerns you bring into the room. I recognise the need to feel seen and understood for the person you are and not just the worries you bring. My approach is warm, relational, and deeply respectful of your lived experience. Whether supporting you through emotional distress, navigating complex family dynamics, or adjusting to significant life changes, I bring care, curiosity, and a commitment to helping you feel heard, understood, and empowered. If any of this connects with you or you like what you've read, feel free to reach out and we can arrange a call to see if we are the right fit.

Training and qualifications

I hold a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and am an Accredited Registrant (MNCPS Acc.) with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Alongside my counselling experience, my work in mental health wards, elderly care, and neurology has given me a unique insight into the realities clients and families face — from sudden life‑changing diagnoses to long‑term struggles with wellbeing, identity, and support systems. Across every role, I have been someone people feel able to open up to, often sharing experiences they have never voiced before. I take pride in my ability to build rapport quickly, communicate clearly, and offer a calm, steady presence during moments of uncertainty or overwhelm. My work within various roles in the NHS means I have a wide scope of additional knowledge from both my years of experience as well as from access to various additional training on a wide range of topics, including but limited to neurodiversity, safeguarding and information governance.
