I opened my private practice in 2022 alongside my work as counselling

lead for Express CIC a service supporting autistic people and their families. I’ve always worked with a wide range of client issues such as anxiety, depression, loss, decision making, self-exploration and more.

Slowly over my 5 years as a counsellor I have developed a passion for working with relationship issues, parenting challenges, childhood trauma and self-esteem.

Much of my work has been supporting people to overcome difficult

life experiences, often rooted in childhood trauma to develop a sense of

self-worth, confidence setting and holding boundaries and to communicate effectively and compassionately with themselves and others. This has been particularly useful in my work with couples and relationships, where often our early experiences of being loved and cared for affects our relationships in adulthood.

Before becoming a counsellor I worked in adult social care and advocacy, I’ve always been drawn to helping roles, but I fell in love with counselling and psychotherapy. I’m a bit of a magpie for new knowledge, so I’m always researching, reading and training. Its important to me that I continue to grow as a person and a practitioner, so I can continue to help others do the same.
