I believe that we are all individuals, shaped by our unique life experiences, with our own pain and struggles.  I provide a safe and confidential space to listen without judgement, to help you process whatever is going on for you in that moment, and to be alongside you in it.  Through empathy and compassion I can model what I believe to be essential for healing: self-compassion.

​

I am a Humanistc and Integrative Counsellor.  What does this mean?  The therapeutic relationship is often cited as the most important contributor to positive change.  This relational approach is at the core of how I work, whilst also drawing from a variety of therapeutic theories as we try to find the source of difficult feelings and to make sense of your experience.

​

As a neurodiversity affirming counsellor, I work a lot with clients who are, or who care for people who are neurodivergent or have disabilities.  To be neurodiversity affirming means understanding that all brain types are part of the natural diversity of the human population, and that neurodivergent brains should be considered as natural and important, not disordered, whilst recognising that this is often not peoples lived experience.

​

I am passionate about what I do, and I work one day a week at a secondary school and one day a week at a college.

​

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within their ethical framework.
