About me and my therapy practice


Counselling for Adults, Young People and Children

As an integrative counsellor, my aim, with adults, children, young people and families, is to enable deeper understanding and growth in a warm, supportive environment. Building a deeply trusting and non-judgemental relationship between the client and myself gives space for clients to develop a more positive sense of being. Clients become increasingly able to gain a greater sense of clarity in their lives and can move forward with more freedom in their thoughts.

I am a Member of the BACP, as well as an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. I have counselling experience of working for organisations which support adults. I also have experience of working as a counsellor for charities, schools and colleges, providing counselling for young people from the age of 6 - 25. I have NCPS registration as a Child and Young Person Therapist and I currently work for the organisation 'Off The Record' where I provide professional counselling for children, young people and families.

Family Counselling

In addition to my counselling training, I have completed a course of study at The Institute of Family Therapy in London and have developed wide ranging knowledge and experience of working with families (or groups from within a family) who wish to attend sessions together for group counselling. These sessions are more systemic in approach, allowing the exploration of structure and relationships, in order to strengthen family bonds.

My Background

I am a mother with two grown up children. Before my career in counselling I had over twenty-five years of experience of teaching adults, as well as children and young people in Primary and Secondary Schools and I have a PGCE qualification. Within counselling I enjoy enabling others to understand themselves better and I am therefore happy to work with a creative and flexible approach with those who would like this.
