About me

As an experienced and accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, I care deeply about what I do. You may be depressed, anxious, stressed, angry or have relationship problems or work-related difficulties. I will listen to you with empathy and without judgement so that I can see the world through your eyes and so that you feel heard. If your thoughts and feelings are confusing, conflicted or unclear, I will work with you collaboratively to unravel and make sense of them. I approach my work with hope and optimism and will work alongside you to explore and understand the roots of your difficulties so that you can gain new perspectives on them.  A greater understanding of yourself can give you the freedom and autonomy to make positive and lasting changes in your life. I work on a one-to-one basis with adults aged 18 years and above. Sessions can be open-ended or time-limited and can be held face to face, online or over the telephone. I offer a free introductory consultation so that you can see if i am the right counsellor for you. In this meeting, we would discuss what has brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from it. It would also be an opportunity for you to ask me any questions you may have about the process.

I have completed a rigorous five-year training and hold an Advanced Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling. I have also completed specialist training in eating disorders. I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy BACP and abide by its Code of Ethics and professional standards. As well as running my private practice, I am also a tutor on a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling course.

Whilst I have worked with people from different walks of life and backgrounds and with a wide range of issues. I treat each client as an individual whose unique experience is more important than the symptom.
