Connection and compassion are at the heart of everything I do. I don’t believe in "one-size-fits-all" therapy. Because every person is unique, I shape my work around exactly what you need in the moment. I draw on a blend of counselling theories, often incorporating art and creative expression as a gentle but powerful way to explore what’s happening beneath the surface when words feel out of reach.

My Specialisms & Approach

I work with people dealing with grief, chronic people-pleasing, or that quiet sense of being completely lost. Real clarity comes from getting honest about where you came from: your childhood, your family dynamics, and the defenses you built to survive them. I’ve done this work myself, so I know how crucial it is to have someone sit across from you, drop the fluff, and just listen while you untangle your story.

Experience You Can Trust

Before qualifying as a counsellor, I spent over 12 years in education, including time as a Designated Safeguarding Lead. This experience gave me a profound understanding of the mental health challenges people face today and reinforced my belief that everyone deserves a safe, supportive space to heal.

Alongside my private practice, I teach the Level 2 Counselling Skills course with CPTA and St Mary’s University.

Beyond the Therapy Room

When I’m not working, I’m usually recharging in nature or fussing over my indoor plants (some thrive, some don’t—and that’s okay!). I love long walks with my dog, Rodney; being outdoors reminds me of the importance of presence, patience, and self-kindness. These are the same little joys and values I carry into my work with you.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just not quite yourself, I’m here to walk alongside you—at your pace.
