Unlock Your True Potential 

Passionate about counselling with a firm belief that it is an empowering experience of personal discovery which leads to a greater sense of self-awareness, enabling continued growth long after therapy has ended.  Grounded in Person-Centred therapy, I use a combination of talking therapy and other creative processes, such as visualisation, focusing on the client as a whole, as our bodies experience the world at the same time as our thoughts and emotions.

As a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, I have significant experience in bereavement as a volunteer with Saint Francis Hospice, and also in substance misuse while working with a local charity supporting those with drug and alcohol addiction.  I also work with issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, emotional/physical/sexual/financial abuse, relationship issues, and domestic violence, all of which can leave clients feeling isolated, worthless or with deep shame.

I feel that it is an absolute privilege to work with anyone who has the courage to take that first step in counselling and so can assure you of a warm welcome into a safe, confidential space where you are seen and heard.  I recognise the bravery it takes for a client to dig deep as they seek to understand themselves, their experiences and the world around them, and believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to the success of the therapy. My therapeutic approach will enable us to work together towards your desired goal, with you setting the pace and direction, as we explore what it is that is troubling you.

Life can be a rollercoaster and at times you may feel overwhelmed, confused, directionless,  or lost.  You may struggle to find your own true sense of self, burdened by expectations of others or the fear of what’s in front of you. Together we will work towards identifying and overcoming any barriers, empowering you on your journey to greater self-awareness, leading to growth and fulfilment and building on your self-belief and confidence.

I believe you have the resources within you to make lasting changes in your life.
