About Me

---

I am an integrative counsellor and member of the BACP, with over nine years of experience working across a range of therapeutic settings. My background is rooted in complex and relational work — from supporting individuals through addiction and recovery, to working with families affected by trauma and domestic abuse.

Over the past five years I have developed a private practice that has grown alongside my clinical experience, and which I now offer on a full time basis. Central to this has been a deepening focus on working with children and young people, supported by a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People. This work takes place within my private practice setting, where the appropriate safeguarding frameworks and professional boundaries are in place to support it safely and responsibly.

In both settings I work with clients who present with complex emotional and physical needs. As a result, I am very familiar in working with people who have issues such as:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Domestic Violence

• Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE)

• Trauma

• Dual Diagnosis

The nature of my counselling practice both within addiction and private work has predominantly centred around my ability to form reparative, secure relationships. I use an integrative approach in my practice based on Clarkson's systemic model of building relationships. This allows me to provide a unique approach when working with clients drawing on different models to provide a tailored way of working specific to them as an individual.

I feel passionate about providing clients with the security of this therapeutic relationship, offering them the space to explore and process some of those more challenging experiences and find ways to manage the feelings attached to this.
