Hello and thank you for visiting my profile.

As human beings we sometimes struggle with different aspects of our lives. Counselling can support you to make changes to address these struggles. As a trained and experienced counsellor, I provide a safe and supportive space to explore what brings you to therapy. By working together, we can examine and understand what is going on and begin to work out how you can live a more fulfilling life.

Where to begin?

Starting counselling can be nerve-wracking. Trying to figure out by yourself what is going on in your life may feel like a difficult and lonely task and identifying the issues involved an impossible one. You may feel anxious and depressed, with life feeling empty. Relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and previous trauma may be troubling you. It may be work stress or family issues are impacting your day-to-day life. It could be that something not mentioned above is affecting you and you would like to work through this.

About me

I am a BACP Registered Counsellor, I trained at CPPD in Humanistic Integrative Counselling achieving an Advanced Diploma. My training allows me to use a range of different psychotherapeutic traditions to best support your unique and individual needs, whilst also providing a warm and friendly atmosphere for our sessions. I have years of experience with clients from various backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures and gender identities. I work in both long and short-term approaches, finding a method that is best for you.

Before my training I worked in a range of sectors including construction and hospitality. I also worked in the charity sector as a mental health support worker and with young adults following a cancer diagnosis. As well as the benefits from supporting a wide range of people, my experience in these fields instilled in me the importance that empathy, compassion and self-care hold in this world.

I charge £60 per session in Hertford and have some lower cost and online spots at £50 per session. Please note that my email may go into your junk folder, have a look in there if you haven't had a response.

Our first few sessions will be focused on getting to know each other, understanding what is going on for you and identifying what we may look to work on. All our sessions will be confidential, and I will help you to feel at ease, creating a trusting bond between us. Then we can start to work through what may be troubling you and identify ways and skills to help you through your struggles.

I offer a free phone/video call for about ten minutes to see if I may be the right counsellor for you.
