A bit about me...

I would describe myself as kind, respectful and empathic, deep, reflective and intuitive, all of which are qualities that assist me in my role and in my effectivity as a Counsellor.

As a person I am led by my moral compass which sits closely in line with my professional, moral and ethical compass. This closeness I feel, brings a natural transparency, authenticity and realness to my way of being as a Counsellor.

  Areas of experience...

I currently work with both adults and young people (13+) in my private practise.  I also work as a bank counsellor for a Trauma Organisation focused on Phase One work - Safety and Stabilisation.  I am currently in Counselling Supervision training.

I have previous experience of working in a Residential Addiction Rehab Centre with adult clients. In addition, I also have experience of working in a local counselling service with young people aged 15 to 25 and three years experience of working with students in a Secondary School.

Areas I have worked with and have experience of include:

Addiction, Trauma, Dissociation, Depersonalisation, Derealisation, Crisis, Spirituality, Existential questioning, Relational issues, Co-dependency, Anxiety, Depression, Panic attacks, Social issues, Low Self-esteem, Confidence, Self-doubt, Suicidal thoughts, Suicidal ideation, Self-harm, Loss, Shame, Guilt, Domestic Violence, Parental separation, Sexual abuse, Sexual assault, Childhood abuse.

Before training to become a Counsellor I had worked in Administration and Customer Service roles.  Feeling a desire to work more closely with people in relation to wellbeing, I became a Care Assistant in a Nursing Home, alongside which I also began my Counselling Training.
