I’m an experienced, client-centred counsellor and a down-to-earth person with a good sense of humour.
I know that starting counselling can feel like a big step. My aim is to offer a warm, supportive space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and talking about whatever is troubling you. Starting counselling can feel daunting, but people often tell me they quickly feel comfortable talking with me.
Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in NHS mental health services for 14 years. I later trained as a Humanistic Counsellor at the University of Chichester, graduating with First Class Honours in 2019.
I also have over 10 years experience working within a local hospice, supporting people through bereavement, loss and significant life changes. Alongside my professional experience, I have my own personal experience of bereavement, which has deepened my understanding of how grief can affect our lives.
Much of my work is with people who have been carrying difficult feelings, experiences or patterns for a long time. Together we can explore these at a pace that feels right for you, helping you make sense of your experiences and move towards a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
