Counsellor & Psychotherapist
MSc Integrative Counselling (DIST), RMBACP
"I bring together professional training, specialist therapeutic experience, and more than three decades of supporting people through complex personal and professional challenges."
My background experience and Journey into Counselling & Psychotherapy
My path into counselling and psychotherapy has been shaped by a genuine interest in people and a desire to understand how life experiences influence our emotional wellbeing, relationships, and sense of self.
Today, I work with individuals and couples facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship difficulties, and complex trauma. My experience also includes specialist cancer support following surgery, counselling within adolescent and sixth form college settings, and working with clients from many different walks of life in private practice.
Before qualifying as a counsellor and psychotherapist, I spent more than 30 years in senior leadership roles across business finance, logistics, and supply chain management. Whilst these careers may appear very different from therapy, they provided me with invaluable insight into the pressures people face in their professional and personal lives. Supporting individuals through change, conflict, loss, uncertainty, and significant life transitions has been a consistent thread throughout my working life.
In later years, my work extended into restorative and victim support services, where I worked alongside individuals, families, organisations, and multi-agency teams in complex and often highly sensitive situations. These experiences deepened my understanding of human resilience, trauma, relationships, and the importance of being truly heard.
I am a qualified MSc Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist (Distinction) and hold an Advanced Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, alongside additional accreditations in complex victim care and dementia care. My integrative approach allows me to draw upon a range of therapeutic models and techniques, tailoring support to the unique needs of each individual rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach.
Above all, I aim to offer a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Whether you are facing a specific challenge, struggling to make sense of difficult emotions, or simply feeling stuck, I will work alongside you with care, curiosity, and respect, helping you move towards greater understanding, confidence, and meaningful change.

In addition to my private practice, I work alongside a small network of trusted professionals who offer complementary and specialist support. Where it feels helpful, I can introduce or signpost you to these services, allowing for a more flexible and tailored approach to your support.
Your work with me remains central, and together we can consider what feels most helpful for you.

“This has been the best thing I have done for myself. I recommend this to everyone who needs help. It’s totally worth it. My most profound takeaway will be I’ll remember my tools. I feel like a completely different person, less angry. I feel happier and feel that I am worth something.
Getting in touch was simple and I was put me in touch with the best possible person. The environment was really comfy, and the sessions worked well.
Very good, quick and reassuring response. Super supportive and really able to understand how to connect and has helped massively. I am more understanding of the situations around myself and able to process them easier. I feel less pressurised and will continue to positively challenge myself.”

“Receiving counselling has been incredible. It’s been like talking to a lovely, non-judgemental friend, helping me through so many different things.
The validation of my feelings – being truly seen and heard. I will remember the warmth and non-judgemental thoughts on things and will try to do this for myself from now on.
It's also made me realise how valuable humour is to me in coping with life. Remembering that I can be the adult/parent now that I would have liked when I was young.
I have found this experience to be really beneficial. It was definitely tough/emotional/challenging to start with, but really positive as the sessions went on.
No improvement could have been made at any point. It has been Brilliant!”

"There's no measure to do justice to how I feel now compared to when I first started our sessions - most importantly, I can cope with the ups and downs thrown at me, I can communicate my feelings more appropriately, and (for probably the first time in my life) I am really valuing myself properly and recognising that I need to be well myself before I can expect anyone else to understand me.
The experience has been nothing short of life-changing - for the first time in a long time (if ever!) I am recognising how important I am, and how valuing myself is how I get the best from my relationships, career and life in general! Thank you for being a non-judgemental, safe and comforting guide on this journey”
