About the Therapist
You may be feeling stuck, unsure, unheard or misunderstood... within therapy sessions, we're creating a space for you to explore any concerns you may be having - no issue is too big or too small. Feeling supported and encouraged helps to create an environment for reflection and growth, and that's exactly what we will develop together.
My counselling service is called Spark Counselling, which is a name inspired by lyrics from a favourite song of mine: 'It's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going' which, to me, sums up my own experience of personal counselling. It takes one spark of hope and motivation to make a change in life, you've taken that first step by looking for a therapist and that is something to be celebrated (the song is called Last Hope by Paramore for anyone interested).

I am trained as an Integrative counsellor which means I am able to draw on different theories to best support you. Some of the theories I am trained in are Person-Centred, which puts the client as the expert in their experience; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts and behaviour are linked; Transpersonal, which takes a soul/spiritual, broader connection to well-being into account; and Gestalt, which views behaviour and thoughts as a whole and looks at patterns of being.
I work with clients aged 18 and up. I have volunteered as a Youth Support Worker at the Zone in Plymouth for 8 years, this work is centred around mental well-being as well as sexual health, sexual well-being and signposting for relevant services related to housing, substance abuse support and
