About Me

I have had a passion for helping others for many years and made the decision to pursue Integrative therapy training, to provide evidence based interventions and a holistic approach to  invididualised treatment. 

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 i've practised spiritual development work and am qualified in Reiki. 

My therapeutic approach is Relational & Integrative with a particular emphasis on complex trauma treatment.  I remain committed to continuous professional development in trauma interventions and spiritual psychotherapy. Additionally, I maintain a profound interest in end-of-life transitions and the importance of dying well.
