Counselling & Psychotherapy for adults & young people

It’s such a brave step coming to counselling, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore anything you feel comfortable sharing.

This space is for you and there is no ‘one size fits all’, everyone is unique and therefore I tailor the therapy towards your needs. I may use different approaches such as Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) or Solution Focused Therapy to support you. Unfortunately, I’m not able to fix, however, in attending therapy I hope to provide some time where you can focus on what you need.

I regularly attend CPD training to ensure my knowledge is kept up to date. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

I offer in person and online sessions. I firmly believe that counselling can have such a positive impact on a person’s life, and I feel privileged to be able to support you.

I specialise in supporting young children from the age of 12 and adults.

I have worked in the NHS supporting adults with a wide range of difficulties including the psychology of weight loss and anxiety in addition, I worked in the education sector supporting students for many years. I qualified as a therapist with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling for adults, children and and young people. I love what I do, it is a privilege to support adults and teens.

I live in Bristol with my husband, young children, long haired Dachshund and our hamster! Alongside my private practice I work for a Gloucestershire based charity TIC+ (Teens in Crisis) providing specialist counselling for young people in schools.
