My counselling process is client focused and tailored. You and your personal journey are unique, therefore there is no "one size fits all" approach in my therapy space. Although I have had a long and varied education into counselling, psychology and social forces, I remain convinced by a fact that I learned on the first day of my degree... It is often not the method of counselling which predicts a benefit to our clients, but the relationship between client and practitioner. I prioritise building trust and a sense of safety that healing can bed into and thrive in.

In my years of placement I worked in various sectors including supporting young adults and older teenagers in a college environment, supporting male and female victims of domestic abuse and coercive control in a charity setting and supporting varied referral clients in a local clinic.

Since then I have held space and healing for a wide variety of clients in my successful private practice. I have plenty of experience in neurodivergence, traumatic experiences, chronic shame, sexual/intimate matters and negative self-image. There is nothing which I believe cannot be approached with warmth, humour and depth.

Currently my practice is based online, using a secure and free telehealth platform. I can also provide walk and talk options in Torbay, but face to face work may be possible by prior arrangement.
