Life can sometimes be stressful, challenging and unfulfilling, and this can deeply affect our emotional and physical well being. We can feel sad, angry or scared in a way that makes life and relationships seem overwhelming or impossible.

Whilst it may feel difficult to ask for help, I have found that providing a safe, confidential environment, with a relaxed, non-judgemental, encouraging style, allows clients to feel that they can be open and to work through what has brought them to therapy. This may be a specific issue, a present difficult circumstance, or something that has been affecting them for a very long time.

Working in an integrative way, using different psychology and leadership models, allows me to tailor my approach to the specific needs of my clients. This allows the client to gain a deeper understanding of their situation and increased self-awareness, which can lead to meaningful change.

With vast experience, I provide counselling and coaching for adults, couples and young people. I have expertise in relationship issues, anxiety and panic attacks, anger management, ADHD, low self-esteem, loss, career management and depression. I also specialise in working with young people, aged 11 - 25 years, and am passionate about enabling people to manage their well-being and resilience. I also work as an Executive Coach.

 Having  worked in the NHS and privately as a Counsellor, and with many leading global organisations as an Executive Coach, I am able to quickly understand clients and gain immediate trust, allowing them to feel challenged and supported. 

I am an Accredited Member of the BACP, and the Association for Coaching. I am also qualified in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and as a Pregnancy and Infant Loss Specialist with the Foundation for Infant Loss. I am a certified administrator of MBTI, and am an accredited trainer of the Penn Resiliency Programme, from the University of Pennsylvania and a Visiting Tutor at Cranfield University School of Management.
