about me

I completed my qualification as a person-centred, integrative counsellor back in 2019 with a Level 5 Diploma from Network Counselling and Training Ltd.

Following this I completed a Diploma in Spiritual Accompaniment (any or no faith), an introductory course in Transactional Analysis (TA101) and my Level 1 (of 2) Certificate in Animal Assisted Play Therapy® with IIAAPT.

Alongside my training and work as a counsellor, for many years I worked for Bristol Mind’s counselling services as a Counselling Coordinator, supporting both clients and

counsellors and ensuring the smooth running of the service. As part of my role I undertook clinical assessments for clients accessing the service, and had responsibility for making appropriate therapeutic matches between clients and counsellors on the team.

Since April 2024 I have been working solely in Private Practice with clients, and have been training in Clinical Supervision to enable me to provide supervisory support to other counsellors. I am currently a trainee supervisor on placement, working towards certification.

what to expect

As a person-centred, integrative counsellor I will work in a way specific to you, accounting for all that is unique about you and your story.

I will pay close attention to your needs and hopes

for therapy, and work holistically with you to navigate the challenges you are facing - helping

you to grow in confidence, self-awareness, and compassion for yourself along the way.

I will endeavour to create a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship with you from the start of our time together, helping you to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement.

areas of experience

Mental health support

Counselling for ADHD

Working with spirituality

Having spent years working for different counselling services, I have experience with a wide range of presenting mental health difficulties.

I commonly work with childhood neglect, low self-esteem, emotional abuse, stress, depression, and relational issues. I also work with those wanting to explore past experiences and the origins of struggles or behaviour patterns.

I work most frequently with individuals with ADHD, particularly those diagnosed as adults and looking for understanding, as well as support with co-occurring issues. I can work to help you process what diagnosis/suspected diagnosis means for you, how it has impacted your understanding of your life and past, explore any triggers resulting from this, and help you navigate daily experiences.

In addition to understanding the biopsychosocial determinants of mental health, my original training also considered the spiritual aspects of the self that may require space and recognition.

I subsequently undertook an additional 2-year diploma in spiritual exploration and accompaniment, and can integrate this into the work if desired.
