I began my own journey to becoming a counsellor and psychotherapist like many do in this profession, through my own experience with life's challenges and discovering how important it is to have the right kind of support when it is needed most.

​

I have led a busy, productive life and I have experience that has thought me that support is the difference between merely coping instead of thriving. 

​

My experience of psychotherapy helped me become more fully aware of myself, and my day-to-day life became easier to navigate. I became a more present and calm person, more easily navigating the complexities life offers.  This is something that I am passionate about passing onto to the people who come and see me in my practice.

​

I have a background in antenatal teaching and support for pregnancy, childbirth and parenting. I am qualified to provide counselling for adolescents.  I also have experience helping those with post-natal depression, parenting issues and family relationship issues.

 

All of the diversity in my life, in my interests and experience, my studying and qualifications have led to an understanding of the pressures we put on ourselves and those imposed upon us.  Today we find more and more that people are simply crumbling under the pressure to be the best worker, parent, spouse, partner etc. Therapy can help you find your own path in what is truly important for you.
