Are you frustrated by a world that confuses you? Do you feel you are not accepted for who you are? Are you finding work stressful? Or is overwhelm and anxiety taking over your life?

Counselling can help you feel more at home in the world as you become happy to be who you are and develop the tools to manage your emotions. You can step into your future as a human with potential. Having the space to speak about things you wouldn’t talk about with anyone else can help you see your options, give you agency and feel alive.

I have over twenty years of experience as a teacher, including training the next generation of counsellors. I strongly believe that everyone has the potential for change – even if they don’t see it themselves. I also understand the demands of the teaching profession and am keen to support teachers and support staff to manage stress. This work has included developing self-care workshops for educational establishments.

My personal life includes experience of those who are neurodivergent and queer which has shown me the impact that being accepted and valued for who you are can have on those who feel the world is an alien or threatening  place.

I have a keen interest in creative therapy, having seen how it can connect to everyone – especially those who find it difficult to express themselves in words.

Finally, my own experience of therapy means I understand just how transformative therapy can be.
