About Me
Am I the right counsellor for you?
There is no one way of living, and we will all find ourselves faced with challenges along the way. Sometimes, the help of an outside source can enable us to view things in a different light or explore in more depth, which is where counselling can be beneficial.
​
I am a qualified person-centred counsellor working in an integrative way to suit individual need. I am registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and I have an MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy. I also carry out regular CPD and have received training in Cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, creative approaches, as well as being a qualified practitioner working within the sexual violence sector alongside my work for Rape Crisis UK.
Alongside my person-centred training I also have an extensive background in the arts sector, working for an arts based university and supporting artists and workers across the sector within my private practice. I am also a registered practitioner with the British Association for Performing Arts Medicine, delivering counselling and training.
​
I believe no two people are ever the same, so how can a counselling approach be? For that reason, my work is predominantly non-directive as I believe you are the expert of yourself, so the approach to therapy should be whatever feels right for you.

​
As I counsellor I meet people from all walks of life, and being able to play a small role in their journey I consider to be a real privilege.
​
I offer a free initial 20 minute consultation, as I believe it is important for you to find a counsellor who you feel comfortable with. I believe the therapeutic relationship (the relationship between you and your therapist) to be vital, so always choose a counsellor who seems the right fit for you, and if that could possibly be me then I look forward to hearing from you.
