Choosing a therapist to entrust in joining you or your child in a safe exploration of thoughts, feelings and experiences can be a challenging task and the right therapist-client fit is crucial.

Please find a few details about my experience and how I work below. I welcome contact from you if you wish to arrange a time for a phone/video call to have a discussion. I offer time and space to discuss my practice in more depth, to make an informed decision about working together.

I provide a safe space to explore what clients wish to bring to therapy at their pace, which begins in the forming of a safe working relationship.

I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist trained to work with children, young people and adults. I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (Level 7) and specialist training and experience working with Children and young people, Creative and Expressive therapies and Parent-Child Dyadic therapy.

I am a registered member of the BACP and a member of the SEA- The Society for Existential Analysis with a BA and MA in Philosophy which blends into my therapeutic work.

I have over 16 years of professional and voluntary experience working with children, adults and families within Multi-agency/Social Services, education, community projects and within the charitable sector. I have extensive experience working with difficulties around identity and the self, anxiety and depression, workplace/education, with families and relationships.

I am trained to work with adults and young people integratively and creatively, meaning that in my backpack I have a range of skills that I can use to help clients work through their difficulties. I primarily use Humanistic, developmental and relational ways of working with clients. I have a special interest in Play, Sand and Narrative therapy and a large range of tools for clients to use if they wish.
