About Me

I am an integrative counsellor and am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) I have a diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling as well as other training and clinical experience.

​

Alongside my private practice, I work as Clinical Manager for a charity working with young people aged 8-24. I also work with Bupa Macmillan providing counselling to people living with cancer as well as volunteering for an organisation offering long-term individual therapy to male and female victims of physical, sexual, mental, emotional and financial abuse . I have received bereavement training through Cruse. Prior to this I served for sixteen years as a police officer, I worked with different client groups including offenders, ex-offenders with severe and enduring mental health.

 

I work with individuals of all ages in a confidential, non-judgemental and empathetic space, giving you the opportunity  to explore and understand the reasons that have led you to therapy.  My training enables me to be flexible and adaptable in my approach as I believe therapy is not a 'one size fits all' endeavour.

 

I listen openly and without judgement; this openness is fundamental to our therapy relationship and will help you cope with the present, identify your resources and gain greater self-awareness and acceptance.

 

My work with clients covers many different aspects such as trauma, abuse, self-harm bereavement, life changing health issues, relationship difficulties, job dissatisfaction, life changes, depression or simply unexplained feelings of loss, fear and anxiety.

 

Whatever the reason, we can work together to increase your self-awareness and your potential.
