I am a warm, genuine, experienced counsellor & supervisor offering a safe, relaxed, confidential & non-judgemental space to work through your issues at your pace. I know how important it is to feel listened to, supported, and accepted and work hard to create that space for you. I am passionate about helping others and it's always a great privilege to work with clients to help them gain clarity, feel calmer & more accepting of themselves and come to a calmer, more peaceful place.

I am an integrative counsellor & work according to your need bringing in various techniques as needed, with your agreement,. including mindfulness, CBT and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).

My personal interest is in trauma and the impact this has on mental health and well-being. Trauma, small or big, past, present, one-off incidents or long-term/ongoing, can have immense detrimental impact on confidence, self-esteem, ability to think, cope and relax and lead to living with worry, anxiety, stress, low mood & depression. Trauma is held in our bodies and can manifest in inexplicable pain and also affect responses to seemingly normal people/situations and having a negative impact on family, friendships and colleagues leading to feeling lonely.

I also offer counselling to counselling students and those wanting to work on self-exploration for personal development.

I am an Accredited Member of NCS (National Counselling Society); Registered Member of the ±«ÓãÊÓƵ(British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and an Accredited EFT Practitioner. I'm fully insured, undertake regular supervision and peer support and regularly undertake opportunities for learning and ongoing professional development (some of which is listed below).

I have extensive experience in counselling within large well-known charitable organisations, also as a Team Leader and running my private practice which places me well to offer effective and supportive clinical supervision to counsellors an other helping professions. 

Supervision is fundamental to the provision of safe, ethical and competent practice and vital to the development of practice and professional development. It is a requirement for trainee and qualified counsellors and very helpful to many other professions such as nurses, teachers and others that may be working with challenges with people. Supervision ensures you stay grounded, maintain professional and ethical boundaries and are regularly practising self-care.
