About me

In my practice, I use a person-centred approach, which puts clients at the centre of everything we do together. I believe in the power of empathy.

I have delivered over 500 hours of counselling in a range of settings. This has included working in an NHS eating disorder service, a community counselling service for individuals with low income, and a charity offering therapy to women impacted by the criminal justice system.

I'm experienced in working with a more solution focused approach for those who may have a specific goal or area they wish to address. With my sessions also including helping clients with planning things to do between sessions — such as, mindfulness exercises or journaling.
