About Me
Before becoming a counsellor and psychotherapist, I spent nearly 20 years in the business world, largely running my own companies. That chapter of my life gave me a real-life understanding of pressure, responsibility, success and failure, uncertainty and change. It also allowed me to work internationally, make mistakes and learn from others before moving into work that allowed me to draw on those skills and develop new ones.
I retrained in psychotherapy and counselling, completing a diploma in cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy, a postgraduate diploma in integrative psychotherapy and a Masters degree in existential psychotherapy and counselling.
My clinical background includes private practice and work in an in-patient addiction treatment centre. I continue to engage in academic research alongside my clinical work.
I am a registered member of the BACP and attend therapy myself as an ongoing practice that supports both personal growth and professional integrity.

Who I Work With
I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds and circumstances.
This includes people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, addictive or compulsive habits, grief, anger, low self-worth and loss of direction, purpose and meaning.
I work with professionals, parents, young adults finding their footing and those navigating change and life transition such as burnout, loss, divorce and questions of identity and self.
You don’t need a diagnosis or a perfectly formed explanation. If something in life is troubling you or repeatedly getting in the way, therapy can be a place to bring it.
Next Step
If considering therapy, I offer a free 50-minute introductory session. This gives us the chance to discuss what brings you here, go over any questions and for you to get a feel of what it’s like working with me.
