Monday to Thursday 8am - 8pm

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor, with experience of working with adults and young people (13+). Working integratively means that I am able to use a variety of therapeutic approaches that align with your individual needs.

I am a trauma informed therapist. I use somatic principles by working with the mind and body, to gain wisdom from your body, to heal the emotions and experiences that are stored in the body.

I have a clinical interest in developmental trauma, family issues, relationships, therapeutic parenting - understanding how your childhood trauma can enmesh the values you hold to being the parent you want to be, supporting adoptive parents and working with neurodiverse people and their parents/carers and family members. I have specific interest in working with ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, Burnout, Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria.

Using neuroscience and spirituality to inform my practice, I will help you understand the power of the brain, by using the knowledge you already hold within you, about your behaviours and choices that hold you back. This understanding allows you to rewire your brains neural pathways for lasting change.

My training in Dyadic Developmental Practice, Psychotherapy and Parenting enables me to support parents and children to navigate challenges, improving relationships and enhance communication, that may occur due to life events such as divorce, grief, challenging behaviours from the child. This approach is highly regarded for supporting young people who have experienced developmental trauma and their families.

Trauma, stress, anxiety and depression are all experiences held in the body. Only a small amount is cognitive 鈥� in the mind. Yet we disconnect with our bodies, which blocks healing. I will work with you to become more aware of your body, facilitating a transformative healing process.

Are you a parent/carer who has discovered your child is neurodiverse? Are you struggling to support them whilst managing your own feelings? I have experience in supporting parent/carers to explore their feelings without judgement, and find ways to support their child, fostering unity to the relationship.

Are you a young person or adult struggling to understand your diagnoses and the impact it has on you and your behaviours? I will support you by helping you to understand your diagnoses, the feelings that may surface, and your behaviours, creating a 鈥渕anual鈥� based upon an understanding of how your brain processes, reacts and prioritises. You will be able to let go of those entrenched behaviours that no longer serve you.

The foundation to providing therapeutic healing is the relationship between the counsellor and client. It can be the most important relationship a person can have, to understand themselves and start the journey to make the changes needed, to become your authentic self and restore harmony back into your body, mind and life.

Using a holistic approach, I will listen sensitively to you whilst working alongside you in a safe, empathic, confidential, and non-judgemental environment. You will have a space to explore your thoughts and feelings. Together we will work collaboratively, as you become aware of your body鈥檚 internal source of wisdom, to allow for healing and build resilience.

Alongside my private practice, I also work as a school counsellor.
