About Me

I have always had a natural ability to connect with people and understand them on a deeper level. Retraining as a therapist was something I had often considered, but it wasn’t until lockdown gave me the space to reflect that I decided to pursue it. I began with a Level 3 Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Introduction to Counselling Skills, followed by a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling Skills and Theory, and ultimately, a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice.

As a pluralistic therapist, I integrate various approaches, including humanistic (person-centred), CBT, and psychodynamic therapy. This allows me to adapt my approach based on what feels most helpful to you. I can explain this in more detail during our first session.

My counselling service for teens can address issues such as academic pressure, social dynamics, self esteem as well as a whole host of other concerns. Our sessions will look towards building resilience, advocating for yourself, confidence boosting and putting into place healthy and helpful coping skills.

I have experience working for a charity that supports young people and parents, including within a secondary school setting. I have helped individuals navigate a range of challenges, such as anxiety, stress, self-defeating behaviors, low confidence and self-esteem, relationship issues, attachment difficulties, grief, and suicidal thoughts.

I am a registered and accredited member of the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) I am bound by their code of ethics and I take this extremely seriously. I attend regular supervision to ensure that I am practicing safely and ethically.
