About Me

What you need to know

I work as an integrative counsellor, which means I use a lot of different psychological methods and theories in my practice. I also incorporate person-centred principles into my work to help me provide a service completely tailored to your needs. I feel it is important to offer a warm, welcoming environment which ensures we develop a good therapeutic relationship, with trust and empathy at its heart.

You, as the client, are at the centre of the whole counselling process and are free to bring your problems to the sessions. Together we will explore the impact that your thoughts and feelings are having on your life, looking at different ways to facilitate change. I like to provide a safe space to support you in restoring your confidence and self-esteem; build on your skills and knowledge of yourself; develop resilience and find a way to fulfil your potential.

The counselling process can support you to make sense of your experiences and develop a ‘Toolkit’ of strategies that you can use in the future.

My Experience

I work with a diverse set of issues, but have special interest in couple work, parent-child conflict, surviving trauma and abuse and the challenges faced by ageing. I work with both short-term (6-12 sessions) and long-term talking therapy and inclusively, regardless of race, culture, sexuality, or gender.

Training and qualifications

I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist.

I have a Masters degree in Contemporary Relationship Studies and am currently studying for a Masters in Psychosexual Therapy with the University of Hull.

It is important that you have confidence in me as a counsellor and that there are ethical guidelines that inform my practice. I follow the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Code of Ethics to ensure good practise and am a registered member of this organisation.
