I am an optimistic and accepting therapist, enthusiastic about working with clients in collaborative ways, seeking to uncover and understand, and finding new ways of changing your life and living with fullfilling and rewarding relationships, families and friends.
I am a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, and I have spent the last 12 years working in community CAMHS teams, the charity sector and in private practice.

Following this, I completed my 4-year clinical training in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy at the Tavistock Centre in London, an internationally renowned centre for excellence in child mental health training and research.

Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited Registrant Member of The National Counselling Society, Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
I see counselling as a transformative journey that can positively change and shape the way you both see and experience yourself and furthermore relate to others.
I am an experienced and dedicated counsellor of 11 years' standing and I work with a range of issues and welcome a diversity of clients. We work together so you can find relief from emotional distress, build self-awareness and access inner resources with the ultimate aim of improving your overall quality of life .
The counselling process is a rich opportunity to constructively evolve and increase your personal choice and freedom. It promotes fresh insights about yourself, the people and the circumstances of your life, thereby offering you a pathway to nourishing experiences both in and outside the counselling roorm.
Over the years I have practised as a counsellor I have consistently established supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationships with a diverse range of individuals, each with their unique story characterised by their particular circumstances and challenges.
