Are you wondering whether I might be the right therapist for you? I’d be happy to answer your questions or offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation to help you decide, with no obligation to commit to further sessions.

I'm a Humanistic and Interative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, and I've developed my counselling skills over 13 years to support people to navigate challenging and often life-altering circumstances. 

I believe every person is unique and that you are the true expert of your own life. My role is to support you in exploring those things that feel difficult to face on your own, without judgment and at a pace that is right for you.

As a therapist, my approach is relational, and I view therapy as a collaborative process that opens up possibilities and enables you to experience yourself in new and meaningful ways, perhaps rediscovering parts of yourself that were hidden or forgotten, while strengthening your inner resources and resilience.

Experience and credentials: 

I hold special interests in relationship issues, identity, loss, anxiety, and self-esteem.

BSc (Hons) - 1st class. Humanistic and Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy.

2023- 2025 Counsellor within NHS Counselling Services. 

2012 - present - My professional background includes providing in-person and telephone emotional support and rehabilitation services for people experiencing adverse life circumstances. 

I offer a complimentary 20-minute initial consultation before commencing therapy.

Each session lasts 50 minutes, whether we meet in person, online, or by phone. My fee is £50 per session.

I offer in-person sessions in Sheffield, as well as online and phone sessions, nationwide.

Following the free 20-minute consultation, the first session will take an information-gathering format to assess your therapeutic needs. 

Payment is required at least 24 hours before the session.
