I am an Integrative counsellor which means I can draw on a range of ideas to support our work together. I commit to providing a compassionate environment where you can feel valued and accepted. From this place of safety, together we can begin to process what is going on for you. Counselling is a space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour. This can lead to a greater understanding of the self and, where relevant, empower you to begin to make changes in your life.

I work with both adults and young people (9 +).

I have achieved the CPCAB Level 5 Certificate in Counselling Children and Young People.

I have a Level 6 qualification in British Sign Language and am able to work with clients whose natural language is BSL or SSE. My background in working with d/Deaf young people in education has given me an in-depth understanding of the d/Deaf community, along with an increased awareness of the additional difficulties d/Deaf people can experience in a predominantly hearing world.

I have additional understanding and experience of LGBTQ+ and Neurodivergence. 

I am committed to providing an inclusive, anti-racist and anti-oppressive practice. I welcome people of all genders and sexualities. 

I offer face-to-face sessions at the beautiful setting of Oak House Studio and Therapies in Hatfield. There is a free car park and toilet facilities on site. Hatfield train station is just a 15 minute walk away. 

I also work online and via telephone. 

Sessions can be long-term or short-term depending on your needs and situation. Sessions are held weekly and at the same time each week. 

I offer a free initial 20 minute conversation for you to tell me a little bit about yourself and to briefly explore the reasons behind your interest in counselling. This is also an opportunity for you to  ask any questions you may have about counselling or the way I work.
