I currently offer sessions Tuesday to Thursday between 9am and 2pm. 

I also offer evening sessions Monday to Thursday.

The decision to seek therapy has probably not been an easy one but I can provide you with the safe space you need to explore whatever you are faced with. Whether it's an issue you've struggled with for a number of years, or a new problem you are trying to navigate.

I work with males and females aged 14+. I can offer long-term or short-term therapy. I work from a person-centred perspective which means that you guide the sessions and I will help you to meet your end goal. Everything will be at your own pace, tailored to your individual needs.

I have a Diploma in Therapeutic counselling trained in person-centred therapy. I have been qualified since 2021 and have experience of working with a variety of issues. Most of my work so far has been working with those who have experienced domestic and sexual abuse.

I also work for an EAP where people present with a wide variety of issues such as bereavement, difficulties in relationships, workplace problems, confidence, self-belief, parenting issues and many more.

In 2016 I began volunteering for a mental health charity where I went on to become employed as a recovery worker supporting those with mild to moderate mental ill health. I was there for 5 years and worked 1-1 and in group settings to help people recover using a variety of methods including CBT techniques, relaxation techniques and other coping strategies.

I currently work at Living Without Abuse (LWA) as the Counselling Coordinator for their counselling service, where I manage the day to day running of the service and a team of trainee and qualified counsellors. 

I also deliver counselling sessions to teens at LWA who have experienced and/or witnessed domestic and sexual abuse.

I offer a free 30 minute initial consultation on the phone where we can discuss your reasons for seeking counselling and establish if I am the right counsellor for you.

If you decide to go ahead then in the first session we will go through a counselling contract to ensure you understand everything you need to know and discuss  what you can expect from your counselling journey. This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions and add anything that you feel is important. I will also take some personal details from you.

The rest of the session will be for you to discuss what you are coming to therapy for.
