​

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." - Oscar Wilde

​

I experienced therapy myself throughout my teens and into adulthood. In total, I have had over 60 hours of personal therapy through choice, and as a requirement during counselling training. Various types of therapy has helped me to learn to make peace with my past, and, more importantly, with myself.

​

My passion for facilitating change in others stems from my own transformative experiences. Having navigated significant personal growth after years of resisting reality due to fear, uncertainty and anxiety, I am deeply committed to empowering others to achieve their own breakthroughs. 

​

I am a professionally registered Counsellor and member of British Association of Counselling Professionals (BACP). This means I'm on a register that has been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. My membership number is: 00983810. I hold a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (CPCAB). I am a member of Creative Counsellors, allowing me to work creatively with adults and young people. 

​

My approach to the work I do is person-centred and humanistic. I work with clients as human beings, not patients. I believe that no one is broken and no one needs ‘fixing’, but rather a space to be your true self in a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space, where no pre-tense is needed.
