About me and my therapy practice

Hello and welcome, I am qualified counsellor and registered member of the BACP.  I am also a hypnotherapist, life coach and offer meditation and mindfulness as a part of my work.

I offer a range of different services in a safe and friendly environment. Here you can take the time that you need to focus on yourself, your needs, what you want to explore, in a gentle safe way and at a pace that is comfortable to you. 

I offer a complimentary Discovery Session, during which we find out what you are wanting to change or make sense of in your life.

We will work together in deciding the way forward and honouring your uniqueness and individuality, by adopting a person centered approach. For some people, there will be the need to look at your past history and resolve those issues before you are able to move forward with your life. And for others, you will only want to work on a solution without going back into the past. Each of these options has its own merits, what is important is that you are in control of the pace and direction that we go in.

I am experienced in working with domestic abuse, bereavement and trauma.


Practice description

I see clients at my therapy room not far from Plymouth City Centre with easy access to the waterfront.  There is plenty of free parking in the locality which takes the stress out of finding somewhere to park.

I work with adults, couples and young adults (aged 16 to 18).  I offer in person and online sessions.

I am currently undertaking a MSc in Contemporary Psychosexual Therapy and work with clients with sexual dysfunction and issues. Currently I offer these sessions at a reduced rate whilst I am completing my MSc. In addition I am undertaking a CPCAB approved Level 5 in Sex Addiction or complusive sexual behaviours, focusing on sex, porn and love addition.

In addition I hold a Level 5 qualification in working with Gender and Sexual Issues, in particular focusing on LGBTQ+.

I work with clients from all backgrounds and have a particular interest and experience (both professional and personal) of neurodiversity.

A lot of my work focuses on anxiety, trauma, neurodiversity, sexual issues, and gender, sexual and relationship diversity, working with both individuals and couples.

I am fully insured and hold an enhanced DBS.  I have completed additional training in working online and remotely with clients.

As a registered member of the BACP, I abide by their ethical framework and am committed to regular supervision and continuing professional development.


My first session

I offer all prospective clients a free 30 minute Discovery Session, which gives you the opportunity to explore your reasons for looking for therapy and your expectations, find out how I work and from there we can decide together on an appropriate way forward.

I believe in relational depth and that for you to gain the most from this process you have feel comfortable with me and that I understand where you are coming from and offer acceptance of you.
