About me

MY EXPERIENCE
I am a family oriented therapist/counsellor, I have over 10 years' experience working with clients in the NHS, a women’s centre, a hospice, a bereavement agency, a perinatal mental health charity, a cancer support centre and a men’s counselling service. I have been trained in a wide range of therapeutic approaches including CBT, person-centred and phenomenological, and I will draw on these to provide the most effective therapy for you.
In addition to the issues listed under 'What I can help with', I also work with life transitions; making choices and negotiating change; and with non-traditional relationships.

My approach is existential, which does not judge emotional suffering but looks instead at how you uniquely experience the world. I will help you explore your life experience in terms of your relationships; your identity; and your values, choices and sense of purpose.
Whether you come at a time of distress with a particular difficulty, or have reached a stage when you want to deepen your understanding of yourself, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can begin to make sense of whatever is troubling you.
If you are ready, I am ready to work with you and empower you through the journey of change and recovery.
