About whom I work with

I work with adults as well as children and young people from the age of 13 years old onwards and into the latter stages of life.  Furthermore, I can offer both short- and long-term therapy, either face to face, via telephone or online with availability during the daytime and evening.

I am fully inclusive and accepting of all people, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, culture, ethnicity and work with a range of diversity in a non-judgmental way.

I feel passionately about this because when I was younger, I never felt like I fitted in, but as I grew into my own identity, I learnt to understand myself and that everyone is different which means it is important to know and accept who you are.

Experience

I have experience of working with a range of issues, such as, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-harm, abuse, trauma, relationship difficulties, divorce, separation, domestic violence, bereavement and adverse childhood experiences. 

These have been within various settings, for example, working in with the NHS as part of the mental health team; as a counsellor within a school setting, as a counsellor for Mind (the mental health charity) and as a counsellor working within the Police Force.
