About me
Counselling can change lives. I have experienced this as a client, a counsellor and teaching trainees.
Counselling sessions can focus on a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and challenging life events, such as trauma, loss, relationships, adoption, and bereavement. . My experience has been working with adults and young people aged 11–18, in private work , in schools, charities, teaching, and coaching, I have training experience and a personal interest in ADHD, Autism and adoption.
Counselling is a supportive space to explore your experiences and find a way forward. Our work together can be face-to-face In My Rodney St room, walking, or online counselling in the form of telephone, email, IM or webcam video call such as Teams
I am a Registered Counsellor with the The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and a Professional member of The Association of Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO.) I work within the NCPS ‘Ethical Framework for Counsellors’, and also the NCPS Guidelines for Online Counselling and Psychotherapy. Information relating to both of these documents can be found here.
Outside of counselling, I enjoy staying active through playing and coaching sport and spending time outdoors. I also like going to the cinema and reading when I can.
About the way I work
I offer counselling in a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Counselling isn’t about giving advice—it’s about working together to understand what’s going on for you and finding a way forward.
I use a range of approaches including CBT, person-centred, transactional analysis, and psychodynamic theories to suit your individual needs.
Our work together is client-led and focused on building a safe, empathic relationship where you can reflect, grow, and make the changes you choose at your own pace.
