How I Work

I'm a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist (BSc Hons in Counselling & Psychotherapy), trained in person-centred therapy and integrative approaches. That means I tailor the way I work to suit your needs — supporting you in finding your own path, in your own time.

I bring not only professional training, but lived experience — including 8 years of sobriety — and deep understanding of the challenges that can come with addiction recovery, anxiety, depression, and neurodivergence (AuDHD).

Whether you're facing a specific issue or just feel that something isn’t quite right, counselling can offer space for clarity, healing, and personal growth.

  • Anxiety & Generalised Anxiety

  • Depression & Low Mood

  • Addiction & Recovery

  • Neurodivergence (including AuDHD)

  • Low self-esteem

  • Life transitions or feeling “stuck”

Qualifications:

  • - LEVEL 1 AWARD IN INTERPERSONAL SKILLS

  • - University of East Anglia - BSc (Hons)  in Counselling and Psychotherapy

I pride myself in always looking for further training in new areas, to bring a widened and robust collaboration of skills to my work.
