Thank you for taking the time in looking up my website.

I am a qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor in private practice. I work with a non-judgement and compassionate approach to support my clients who are experiencing issues that have impacted their lives, I aim to facilitate change and growth, and I believe this occurs as a result of the therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client.

​

My journey into counselling started after I lost my identical twin sister and Mum to breast cancer.

I felt angry at the world;  and that no-one understood how I was feeling. I didn't feel heard when I was referred to a psychiatrist via my doctors,  in fact he yawned when I was describing the pain and heartache I was feeling and this experience just silenced me.

I suppressed the emotions and grief for many years. 

I decided to undertake an evening college course in counselling as I  felt I had experienced a lot of different life events  and wanted to help others and furthermore,  not have the experience I had with the psychiatrist that I did. I wanted people to feel

fully heard. 

I absolutely loved the counselling course and after a lot of doubting myself; imposter syndrome,  I took a deep breath and took the plunge to apply to the University of Nottingham to study counselling.

I was accepted and three and a half years later in 2019 graduated with a first class Bachelors of Arts with Honours degree in Humanistic Counselling Practice. It certainly wasn't  

an easy journey, but all the blood, sweat and tears has been worth it, to now  be able to be qualified in offering my services to clients.
