ABOUT

It is really important to look for a counsellor who not only holds the right qualifications, but who you feel comfortable with. I understand that opening up to someone you don't know can feel very daunting but with the right therapist, you will feel a sense of safety and trust and most importantly feel heard and understood. Together we can work through issues, uncover insights, reach goals and find solutions. Having time and space dedicated just to you with a trained therapist can truly be life changing. As for qualifications, I achieved a Masters Degree in Counselling after previously working in education and law, careers which have added an invaluable proficiency to my practice. I am qualified to provide counselling to all age groups and have acquired skills and expertise in several contemporary evidence-based counselling approaches. My practice is integrative which means that I draw upon many counselling theories as each client is unique and not one approach meets all client needs.  I use a holistic approach to different therapeutic models but mostly use:

​

• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) 

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) 

• Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)

• and Mindfulness Techniques. ​

​

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework, including undertaking regular supervision and ongoing professional development. This ensures the highest professional standards for my clients. I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office, have an enhanced DBS certificate and I am fully insured.

​​

I offer counselling for adults in many areas, several of which are listed below. However, most of my work focuses on anxiety which includes generalised anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, phobias and social anxiety. Anxiety can also co-occur with other issues such as eating disorders and grief, making anxiety far more common than many people realise. However, the good news is that therapy can significantly help reduce anxiety and manage its symptoms.

• anxiety
