Who I work with:

Individual people aged 18+.

I work within most area's of mental health, but tend to 'specialise' within Neurodivergence, domestic/sexual abuse, perimenopause and anxiety. 


My background:

I have worked with clients for over 20 years, in a variety of front line services. I had always used counselling skills in all roles - which naturally lead me towards deepening my training and starting my own counselling service.

I supported a diverse caseload of people in areas such as; domestic abuse, welfare rights, careers guidance and supported housing.

Which means I bring a huge wealth of knowledge, skills and experience into my counselling style.
