Becoming comfortable within yourself and learning to value who you are.



I believe that everyone deserves the chance to thrive in life. Each person has a need to feel valued and accepted for who they are as a unique individual. This is what I hope to achieve using a collaborative approach.

I offer a counselling service tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. It is about ensuring each client feels listened to, accepted and valued. This helps them gain insight into their own issues and develop solutions which along with new tools and techniques help them transform their life and feel at peace with the world.

The approach I use is Integrative counselling which involves varying the style of counselling according to the needs of the client. The styles of counselling I use include Person Centred, Psychodynamic and CBT. Counselling is a collaborative process which involves working with each client to identify and achieve their goals.

I am a intuitive and empathic counsellor with a down to earth approach to counselling young people and adults in person and online. My areas of specialism are mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, OCD and other related conditions, trauma, dysfunctional relationships, childhood issues, bereavement, young people, neurodiversity, LBGQT+ and Cancer.
I have a strong understanding of the impact mental illness such as anxiety, depression and other related conditions can have on your life due to having been a pharmacist and they can be debilitating. I also have a lot of experience of working with trauma, childhood issues, abuse, dysfunctional relationships and bereavement with my aim being to help people transform their lives so they feel valued. I focus on a strength based approach to help the client value themselves.
I have a passion for counselling young people and feel they should be given the chance to thrive. Issues such as family conflicts, academic stress, peer pressure, anxiety and identity issues are just some of the pressures young people have to deal with. I have a Diploma in Counselling young people and children and I am a volunteer counsellor at Cross Reach counselling young people.
I also have a passion for working with people who may have recently been diagnosed, self-identify or are still questioning whether they have Autism, ADHD or other neurodevelopmental disorders. I have extensive experience of the difficulties and challenges that can be faced such as sensory overload or burnout, difficulty navigating social situations, challenges with change, exhaustion from masking or camouflaging in order to appear neurotypical.
I have worked with clients in the LBGTQ+ community who are navigating identity and relationship issues and have helped them to feel valued and secure in themselves and as a result transform their lives.
I tailor my counselling skills to each clients unique situation to enable them to gain insight and determine their best way forward in life so they can achieve inner peace. I focus on a strength based approach to help the client value themself. This process is carried out in a safe and confidential space where the client feels at ease.
I am an integrative counsellor with a Diploma in counselling and I am a registered member of the BACP professional body which means I have agreed to work to their ethical framework and to take steps to ensure the counselling I offer is safe and good quality.

I provide a safe and confidential space where you can explore your feelings and work towards positive change. I specialise in working with mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, OCD and other related disorders, trauma , dysfunctional relationships, childhood issues, young people, neurodiversity, LBGTQ+ and Cancer.
