I am a fully qualified counselling practitioner with a postgraduate diploma (PGDip) in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Counselling and have worked for numerous years in mental health settings. I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and adhere to their code of ethics.

I come from a background working for mental health services, including extensive work with the national charity Mind.

Helping others understand the often obtuse and difficult parts of self and sadness has become a passionate calling for me. My approach to counselling is rooted in empathy, patience, and a genuine desire to help others navigate their unique path towards greater mental health. I also work affirmatively with LGBTQ+ issues, taking care to work compassionately with the unique challenges faced within the LGBTQ+ experience.

I personally come from a fine art background and take great interest in understanding the creative links and overlaps between art and mental wellbeing.

I maintain an ongoing commitment to progressing my counselling practice by regularly engaging in contemporary psychoanalytic literature, ongoing supervision, lectures and courses. The growth developed within my own practice is a life long commitment and it is my hope that this growth may support you.
