I am a level 6 qualified counsellor who through a combination of education, volunteering and work has found that each of these experiences enabled me to engage in my favourite activity – being with, talking with, learning, laughing and sharing hard times with others. In short, people have always fascinated me, and I learnt from an early age that no two people are the same and that people and relationships are vitally important to me.

My approach and practice is person centred, what this means is that I believe we all experience and respond to life in our own way. I understand how life events and our response to them, shapes who we are, how this is always changing, and through our recognising and accepting ourselves provides the platform for us to be who we are.

At times, facing ourselves and what’s going on in life can leave us feeling unbalanced, out of control or afraid – impacting on every level, leaving us at times overwhelmed, uncertain or without purpose. It is at these times I offer support; our relationship is key and I will work hard to understand you and your world in order to provide the support you need.

I consider myself fortunate if invited to walk alongside you at this time and be a part of your world, through providing support and the opportunity to pause, reflect, heal and grow – delivering this in a professional, ethical and compassionate way.

Life can be a challenge at times, and focusing on your needs – together, may enable you to find your way through these challenges, gain some clarity, restoring balance and finding your way forward.
