In addition to my private practice, I am a counsellor with two charities, specialising in recovery from sexual and domestic violence, and hate crime.

I am trained in the person-centred approach to counselling. This means that I believe human beings tend to do the best we can with the resources we have. My approach as a counsellor is to offer you a relationship in which you can uncover, or build up, the resources that you need to live life more as you choose.

I aim to 

- give you my full attention at all times

- understand you, not judge you

- share my thoughts and feelings with you openly

With over fifteen years post-qualification experience in counselling, I have been fortunate to work with a broad range of people, on lots of different issues including depression, bereavement, relationship and family difficulties. I have particular experience in supporting people with the following:

- domestic violence

- sexual abuse and rape

- long-term health conditions

- appearance concerns

- ambiguous loss and complex grief

- sexual identity and gender identity

(I am an LGBT-affirmative and kink-aware counsellor, sex-worker inclusive, and welcoming of poly and ethically non-monogamous people)

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and I work in accordance with the Association’s Ethical Framework.
