About me and my therapy practice

I understand just how hard it is to choose the right therapist for you. The decision to reach out for help and seek therapy can be tough enough alone! Sometimes we face struggles in life that leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed and we need help finding our way through. I aim to offer you a confidential, warm, and safe space to explore your reasons for seeking therapy.


I am a fully qualified and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist, in private practice, based in Newark. As a Humanistic and Integrative Therapist, I work relationally with the uniqueness of the human experience. The service I provide will give you the opportunity to develop better insight into yourself and the difficulties you may be facing right now. Offering non-judgemental support, I have worked with a diverse range of clients with a wide range of presenting issues, from anxiety, depression and trauma, to neurodiversity and LGBTQIA+ related issues. I truly value the difference and diversity in all of my clients.

Practice description

I have a first class BSc (Hons) degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy. Achieved through the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute, awarded by Staffordshire University and accredited by the Íø±¬ÃÅ (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

I am a full member of the Íø±¬ÃÅ and adhere to their ethical framework for good practice.

I hold full professional indemnity insurance.

I have experience working in different establishments including a sixth form college working with young people aged 16-18, where I gained particular experience working with LGBTQIA+ related issues and neurodivergence such as autism and ADHD. I have also worked within a sexual abuse charity, working with adults around rape, sexual assault, shame and trauma related issues.

My first session

I offer a free informal 10-15 minute chat over the phone, to answer any questions you may have about therapy or the service I can offer. This is often a good chance to get a feel for whether I would be a good fit for you as your therapist and if you wish for us to work together, then we can book a face-to-face session from there.
