About the Therapist

About the therapist:

My counselling approach combines aspects of Person-Centred Therapy, Transactional Analysis and Psychodynamic Therapy.

As a counsellor, my job is to help you both make sense of what is happening to you and find a way to live with your challenges. I strongly believe that the best way to do this is to create a safe relationship where you don’t feel judged and can explore all of your feelings.

I have worked for a number of years counselling people from the LGBTQ+ community and understand the added complexities that this community faces.

My professional background has been working in the charity sector with people with substance use issues, offending behaviour and/or mental health problems.

Experience and approach:

I had 20 years experience of working in a stressful corporate environment before making the decision to leave and train to be a counsellor. So I'm very interested in helping people make big life changes. Since leaving the corporate world I continue to work in the mental health charity field alongside my counselling practice. I have also held a Degree in Integrative Therapy since 2012.
