As your therapist, I will provide a safe, welcoming space where you can explore your experiences without fear of judgment. Together, we will identify patterns in your life and figure out what is working for you and what is not. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or curious about your inner world, I am here to support you to move forward in an empowered and intentional way.
Working as a counsellor and in frontline support services, I have experience supporting individuals facing a wide range of challenges. The include homelessness, substance and alcohol use, eating disorders, care experience, childhood trauma, domestic abuse, sexual assault, suicidal ideation, and severe and enduring mental illness. Additionally, I have experience working affirmatively with neurodivergent people and with LGBTQIA+ individuals.
I have a natural curiosity, and I believe that everyone should be able to navigate the challenges holding them back. I will respond in a trauma-informed, person-centred way, meeting you where you are on your journey and patiently walking beside you.
Education and experience
I have an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling and several years of counselling experience in a variety of therapeutic settings. I am particularly interested in Person-Centred Theory, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Attachment Theory and Existential Therapy, all of which I integrate into my practice. I am open to using creative interventions and exploring somatic experiencing.
I am an Accredited member of the BACP, and I work within the guidelines of the BACP Ethical Framework.
Like all BTC practitioners, I commit at least 25% of my time to the provision of low-cost and no-cost therapy to disadvantaged members of our community. Because I am an employee of the organisation, any surplus generated from my full-cost work is ploughed back into our charitable services.
