Íø±¬ÃÅ

With over 12 years of experience, and accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Íø±¬ÃÅ), I provide compassionate support for a wide range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, and trauma-related issues. I also work with those looking to explore personal growth and deepen their self-awareness.

I have previously worked as a Counsellor in a residential rehabilitation programme for men recovering from alcohol and/or substance misuse; as a Consultant Counsellor and Psycho-Educational Group Facilitator for an NHS Tier 3 weight management provider, with knowledge of weight loss surgery; and as a Bereavement Counsellor for Cruse Bereavement Care.

My private practice is based in an easy to get to location, with plenty of free parking, and provides a calming, safe space for you to explore what is troubling you.

I offer a free 20-minute introduction session, which gives us an opportunity to meet, for you to get a feel for how I work, and to answer any questions you may have. It’s a no-pressure way for us to see if working together feels right for you.

If you'd like to arrange an introduction session, please get in touch.  As I’m often with clients, texting or emailing is the quickest way to hear back from me.

I hold an Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision including Online and Telephone Working, which is aligned with the supervision competencies established by the Íø±¬ÃÅ, NCPS and ACTO.
