About Me
I've always been drawn to people...
Talking to them, meeting them, understanding their side of the story. What you see is largely what you get with me. I don't perform a persona in the therapy room that isn't also true of me outside it.
Long before I trained as a counsellor, I worked in roles built around people, fifteen years in learning, development and employee wellbeing. I've always had a natural warmth and curiosity that puts people at ease.
When my mum died suddenly, that loss forced a huge shift in me. Not just in my career, but in how I wanted to live and work. I left the corporate world for counselling because it aligned so much more with who I am and how I see the world.
What I didn't expect was how much I'd receive from that transition. My own counselling didn't just help me move through grief. It opened my eyes to earlier pain I'd been carrying and not realising for years. Therapy helped me understand myself differently. Being changed by good therapy myself is exactly what I now want to offer other people.
I'm a qualified counsellor registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society. My main approach is Transactional Analysis, which I use alongside psychodynamic, relational and CBT ways of working, depending on what suits you.
