Therapeutically I have worked in a variety of settings including Primary, Middle and Secondary schools and within the charitable sector with clients affected by domestic abuse. This work follows earlier roles in criminal / youth justice, teaching, safeguarding, including child protection and domestic abuse and roles working with the homeless and fostered children. My voluntary roles have included many years in sport and within the LGBT+ community.

Within my practice I like to create a relaxed environment for you to feel as comfortable as possible as we form a therapeutic relationship. I work in an integrative way which means I use a range of different counselling theories and techniques depending on the nature of the issue, and will tailor my approach to what might work best to meet your needs.

In your first session you may feel nervous, so I will do whatever I can to make you feel comfortable and safe. As part of this I can reassure you that baring safeguarding concerns for yourself or others counselling is a confidential process.

During the first session I will look to discover your concerns and issues and what you hope to achieve from your sessions. At the end, you can then decide if you want work with me. There is no obligation to continue to work together so you can always stop our work if you feel you're not ready.
