My work over the years has revolved around caring for people. I have eleven years of experience in the charity and teaching sectors and have specialist training in gender-based violence, domestic violence and trauma.

I also have extensive experience in issues such as illness, postnatal depression, estrangement, addiction and bereavement.

In addition to being a counsellor I am a mother and a writer. I have a particular interest in the experience of parenthood and how it can affect our sense of ourselves. I am also curious about the experience of feeling different, particularly when this feeling becomes overwhelming and affects our daily lives. I stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community and welcome clients of all sexual identities. I strive to work in a way that is compassionate and anti-oppression.

My counselling approach is humanistic, which for me means I value the uniqueness and individual experience of people. I see you as the expert in your own life. I feel that by raising awareness of the way things are, a person’s capacity for change and growth can emerge naturally.
