About 

As a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist, I am compassionate and non-judgemental and my hope is to provide a space where you can explore whatever is happening in your life. We each have an innate capacity for healing and growth, and my role is to be alongside you with curiosity, care, and understanding. Drawing on my training in Core Process Psychotherapy, we pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, and bodily felt sense in the present moment, helping you deepen your relationship with yourself. Together, we can gently explore your experiences at a pace that feels right for you, supporting greater self-awareness, authenticity, and a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are, not the conditioned I or who we are told we should be.

I am a trauma specialist, completing training from Janina Fisher emphasising relational safety, somatic and emotional regulation, to gently explore the parts of us - thoughts, feelings, behaviours and sensations - that can feel disturbing, out of place or cause emotional blockages.  This can look like symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic attacks, self-esteem and identity issues. There may be relationship issues or a felt sense of ‘something not feeling right’ and PTSD or Complex PTSD symptoms. 

These parts often hold the experiences of past trauma, and when we approach them with curiosity and compassion, they can become pathways to understanding and growth. Healing from complex trauma is supported by a nurturing, consistent therapeutic relationship, and it is not uncommon for people to have therapy for several years. 

I’m trained in Rewind Therapy; a gentle process that can help ease trauma, anxiety, and phobias. It is quietly transformative - it works by allowing the mind to process and reframe what’s been stuck, often bringing a deep sense of relief and calm.  To support healing I have trained in Guided Drawing for Healing Trauma which uses simple art activities to safely explore feelings, build self-awareness, and support emotional healing.

I offer counselling to those over 18 years old. My counselling experience includes short-term and longer-term counselling, supporting people with a wide range of difficulties and experiences.
