How I could help you...

I am an experienced and qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP. Reg: 393764).  In therapeutic terms I am a relational integrative therapist, which means I draw on many different tools, theories and perspectives, to develop a tailored approach for each client. This ensures that you get what you need from therapy.  

​

You may want to make more sense of your previous or current experience, to better your relationships with others, or with yourself, to improve your mood, or to find more peace and meaning in your life.

​

I am energised by nature, healthy living, uplifting music, and connection with others. As well as being a therapist I am a mother, a wife, a sister and a friend. 

​

Prior to becoming a therapist, I held various senior roles in big businesses , so I know and understand the pressures of working in the corporate world. 

​

Working as a therapist is a great privilege. I can help with abuse, anxiety, bereavement, depression, health related issues, loss, personal development, PTSD and trauma, parental mental health, redundancy, relationships, self esteem, self harm, stress, work related issues.  I have worked in the following settings;

​

I am fully insured, GDPR compliant, and hold a current Enhanced DBS.  I am passionate about lifelong learning and development and am continuously enhancing my knowledge and skills thorough formal and informal CPD.

​

I hold a Post Graduate Diploma (Distinction) in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Leeds Beckett University.  I have had additional training in the Rewind Technique for Trauma, and Transactional Analysis. I also have a BA (Hons) from Warwick University, and am conducting Masters research into the benefits of integrating Reiki into Psychotherapy.
