Choosing a therapist to entrust in joining you or your child in a safe exploration of thoughts, feelings and experiences can be a challenging task and the right therapist-client fit is crucial.

Please find a few details about my experience and how I work below. I welcome contact from you if you wish to arrange a time for a phone/video call. 

I offer time and space to discuss my practice in more depth and begin to get to know one another, as part of a pre-therapy process. After this process, we have laid the foundation which enables us to make an informed decision about starting the therapy journey together.

I provide a safe space to explore what clients wish to bring to therapy at their pace and in their own expression, which begins in the forming of a safe working relationship.

I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist trained to work with children, young people and adults and have been in practice since 2018. I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (Level 7), Working with Children and young people (Sheffield), Play and Creative therapeutic approaches and Parent-Child Dyadic therapy (IATE, London).

Alongside individual therapy I offer parent consultation, school packages including consultation, training and group therapy. I will be able to offer clinical supervision from 2026.

I am a registered member of the Íø±¬ÃÅ and a member of the SEA- The Society for Existential Analysis. Before I began my therapy training journey, I studied for both a BA and MA in Philosophy which blends into my therapeutic work.

Alongside my private practice, I help to run the Therapeutic Hub for Early help and Children’s social care in Derby, and work at Relationships Derby. I have had over 17 years of professional and voluntary experience working with children, adults and families within multi-agency/Social Services, education, community projects and the charitable sector.

I have extensive experience and specialisms in neuro-affirming and trauma-informed working. I support clients with exploring identity and the self, anxiety and depression, workplace/education, families and relationships. 

I am trained to work with adults, young people and families integratively and creatively, meaning that in my ‘backpack’ I have a range of skills that I can use to help clients work through their difficulties. To do this, I utilise talking therapy and play/creative therapies. I primarily specialise in Humanistic, developmental and relational approaches and have a special interest in Play, Sand and Narrative therapy with a large range of tools for clients to use if they wish.
