"For me, being a therapist is
a calling. I am passionate about what I do."
I offer short term and long term therapy to individuals and couples.
Being a counsellor means that I have worked with people experiencing a broad variety of situations in their daily lives. I am professionally trained in providing both short and long term therapy.
​
I have developed an eclectic approach and integrative way of working. Which means I use a variety of methodologies and philosophies in clinical practice to bring about a more holistic approach which I think makes the process of therapy more accessible, beneficial and successful.
I like to think of it as a collaborative journey in self awareness and of being in the moment. It is the art of noticing what is present physically, emotionally, cognitively, without judgement, with a curiosity to learn from noticing established patterns in behaviour. This can lead to a new understanding of oneself and positive change if desired.
​
I also offer Counselling & Supervision to trainees, newly qualified and experienced counsellors.

Experience
From a very early age I had a great interest in emotional well-being, so as soon as the right opportunity presented itself, I began training to be a counsellor.
During my studies I completed a placement with Womens Aid, specializing in domestic and sexual trauma & abuse. I remained with them for a while after I qualified, so have a great deal of experience in this area.
I have been in private practice since 2017 where my skill-set diversified to meet needs.
I undertake Continual Professional Development and add to my portfolio of skills every year.
