About me
My Journey
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent over 20 years working in education — an experience that deepened my understanding of people, personal development, and the value of human connection. I also bring the perspective of a cancer survivor, which has strengthened my empathy, resilience, and appreciation for life’s challenges and turning points.
My Work
I work with adults facing a range of issues, including abuse, trauma, bereavement, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.
I specialise in supporting adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse, and have also developed my knowledge and understanding of the impact of domestic abuse and sexual violence on both female and male victims.
I am hugely interested in supporting under-represented groups, and much of my work has been with older clients who may find it difficult to reach out.
I am passionate about supporting neurodiverse clients and am dedicated to promoting equality, diversity, and accessibility in my practice. My face to face work is in an accessible space and I also offer online and telephone counselling for clients with accessibility issues.

As an ethical practitioner, I am frequently updating my areas of experience through professional development. If you would like to get in touch, I am happy to explore how I can meet your individual needs.
