BACKGROUND
Before becoming a counsellor, I've lived abroad, been a full-time mum to two children, and worked in a high-pressured job in finance.
MY APPROACH
I believe the foundation of any successful counselling relationship is collaboration, transparency and trust.
I work in a flexible, open and conversational way built around what will work best for you.
My clients tell me I​ create a very safe, relaxed and non-judgmental space. They say I'm easy to talk to, a good listener, and that however they felt at the beginning of the session, they always leave in a better place.
​
In my time as a counsellor I have helped clients with issues including addiction, body image, depression and bereavement. ​
​
A full-list of issues I can help with can be found here.
