Supporting people in a non-judgmental, empathic and compassionate way is not just a job but a way of being for me and has been for nearly a decade of this work.

It is really important to acknowledge when we need support, and recognising there is no shame in reaching out when we do. I truly believe we all know what is best for ourselves, but have lost connection to our source of strength and intuition. Over time people become convinced they can't rely on their decisions because the world tells them they aren't good enough, other people state they know what is best for us, that we are wrong and can't rely on ourselves, saying things like, "I told you so..." or giving other unhelpful and judgmental feedback.

I work with various presentations but often specialise in working with adult children of emotionally immature / narcissistic parents and also those wanting to work on gender identity and/or sexuality - however, I work with all kinds of experiences.  Anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem - whatever it is we can work through it.

We are all connected by emotion, not experience - and therefore I can work with you. 

Whatever your needs, our work together is about finding those lost pieces that feel missing, helping you let go of the voices from others telling you you're wrong, you're not enough or you need to change, and bringing back a connection to that little voice inside you which is often ignored because the brain shuts it down because people in your life have told you it can't be trusted. But it can.

My approach to client work is creative and unique, integrating various modalities and practices to suit your situation. 

If you want to change, if you are sick of the destructive patterns, the poor relationships with yourself or others, if you are sick and tired of feeling anxiety or of not being good enough, get in touch to start your change today.

I have experience in a variety of sectors including charity work, bereavement and hospice services, children and young people, in the NHS and education sectors. I worked in emergency medicine for over a decade before moving over to talking therapies.

As well as working as a therapist, I am a lecturer in higher education in counselling and psychotherapy, teaching and supervising counsellors in training.

I have a doctorate in developmental psychology exploring the effects of social media on sexual identity construction and the application to psychotherapy, a master's degree in advanced counselling and psychotherapy, post graduate qualification in clinical supervision, EMDR Europe training as well as a variety of qualifications in other modalities including Narrative Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Solution Focused, Internal Family Systems and Single Session model training. I am also qualified in advanced clinical hypnotherapy.

I work with 'traditional' talking therapies but also bring in some expressive and creative elements to activate the right side of the brain to access creativity, emotions, the inner-child and imagination to find your way through your challenges or to just express yourself in a more unique way.

I have extensive experience working with both qualified and trainee counsellors utilising the Seven Eyed, and Cyclical Models. My approach to supervision is similar to my therapeutic work, which is collaborative, unique and supportive. I believe in patience, non-judgment and compassion. I understand how important it is to have adequate and appropriate supervision to guide you through practice challenges in times when the work can be isolating, tough and complex.

I am not currently taking on trainee counsellors.

Send me a message for more information.
