About me

I have had a passion for helping others for many years and pursued Integrative therapy training, to provide evidence based interventions with a holistic approach. 

I qualified in 2016 and am accredited by British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).  I have gained valuable experience working in NHS Primary Care Talking Therapies for the past 10 years as a Counsellor and previously worked with BUPA Macmillan and Women’s Aid.  Previously to this I was working with young people, homeless families, and survivors of domestic abuse.

My interests in science, music and nature have shaped my life, I studied Microbiology and subsequently worked in the underground music industry; I have always had a love of the natural world spending time outdoors - be that gardening or walking, noticing small things and nerding out on on wildlife and ecology. I like a variety of music, but am leaning towards nu-jazz, brukbeat and south american music at the moment, i'm also trying to improve with vinyl mixing. Something not many people know about me is that I practise psychic development work and am a qualified Reiki practitioner. 

My therapeutic approach is Relational & Integrative with a particular emphasis on complex trauma treatment., my interest in developing my expertise in body based somatically focused interventions continues to grow  I remain committed to continuous professional development in trauma interventions and spiritual psychotherapy; I also have a profound interest in research around end-of-life transitions and belief in dying well.

Your privacy matters

I do not share or publish testimonials, reviews or feedback, to protect my clients privacy and safeguard the sensitive information disclosed during our sessions. Maintaining the integrity of a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance to me, enabling clients who attend therapy to do so without the fear of judgement, identification, or exposure.  

I do not accept personal social media requests from clients, however they may choose to follow 0115 social's or leave a google review which they have control over.   It is always heartwarming for me to receive feedback from my clients and I truly appreciate hearing their experiences of therapy, but protecting client autonomy and confidentiality take precedence.
