I currently have availability for in person appointments on Fridays from my office in Broomhill, Sheffield and for online appointments throughout the week. 

Hello and welcome. I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ Registered Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor with over 16 years of experience supporting clients. I am based in Sheffield for in person appointments and online and over the telephone across the UK.

When you are feeling depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed, just getting through the day can feel difficult. Coping with emotional problems can be hard, but you don't have to do it alone. I have a range of counselling services to suit everybody.

I offer appointments to individuals, couples, families and groups.

I am a psychodynamically and integratively trained counsellor and psychotherapist which means that we can work together to build a tool kit of strategies and skills to help you day-to-day whilst exploring the root cause of your difficulties.

Counselling looks different for each person. No two counselling relationships are the same. My flexible and inclusive approach helps me to tailor our sessions to fully meet your requirements.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (Â鶹ԭ´´) and adhere to their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I receive regular professional supervision and participate in frequent Continued Professional Development to ensure that I provide the highest level of service. I am fully insured, hold an enhanced DBS certificate and I am fully up-to-date with safeguarding training. 

Face to face - In person counselling sessions are available from my peaceful therapy room in Broomhill, Sheffield. The room is spacious and comfortable, offering an ideal setting to explore your difficulties.

Online/Telephone - I offer online and telephone appointments from my home office in the Peak District. Whether you are looking to work regularly online or over the telephone or wish to add this flexibility to your in-person appointments, I can accommodate this. I use MS Teams, ideal for individual and couples appointments.

Outdoors - Outdoor, individual and group counselling sessions are available at various locations across the Peak District and High Peak. Individual sessions can be seated, 'walk and talk' or a blend of the two.

I have also worked extensively with survivors of domestic abuse, and veterans offering safe, trauma‑informed therapeutic support.

In addition to my clinical work, I have previously lectured for the University of Derby (Buxton) on their Counselling Diploma Course.
