About me
I am a humanistic counsellor and psychotherapist. My work draws on existential, phenomenological, gestalt, systemic and relational therapy.
This incorporates my belief that every person is unique and thus my relationship with each client is unique. I aim to work in a way that welcomes your way of seeing and experiencing the world and affirms all parts of your identity including your age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, culture, ability and neurodivergence.
I recognise that the relationship between you and your
therapist is the most important element in facilitating change, and I bring my warmth, empathy, curiosity and compassion to our work.
I firmly believe that a safe and compassionate relationship has the power to lead to meaningful change.
I previously worked in developmental psychology, worked with people with complex physical and communication needs, and specialised in providing social, emotional and mental health support to children and families in schools. I am interested in how our experiences and relationships as children shape who we are, our sense of self, and how we interact in the world. I bring this into my way of working, collaborating with you to make sense of your experiences and the impact that they have on you and your life.
Having previously been a counsellor at Macmillan Cancer Support, in addition to having had personal experience of cancer diagnosis and treatment, I am also interested in working with people impacted by cancer.
I have also previously been a counsellor at As You Are, a low-cost counselling service, which I continue to be involved with.
