Therapists

I'm down to earth and approachable and want you to feel truly seen and heard so you can explore whatever is troubling you. Choosing the right therapist can feel impossible especially when you're already feeling low, overwhelmed or disconnected. That's why I offer a free first session so you can meet me and see if you think you'd like to work together. Whatever brings you to counselling, I don’t see you as broken and I won't try to 'fix you'. I see counselling as a collaboration; it should be a supportive space for you and all your feelings so you can unburden yourself and not have to figure everything out on your own. Often a kind, compassionate ear is all you need to help find a fresh perspective. However if appropriate I will also sometimes push and challenge you, actively encouraging you to take responsibility for your own healing. I believe we are all unique, messy and imperfect human beings doing our best with what we have and that however hard life feels right now, we all have the potential to change and heal at any point in our lives.

I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor with a particular interest in working with the body and trauma. I use a combination of talking therapy, body psychotherapy and mindfulness. Sessions are available both in and outdoors and online.

I have over 15 years of experience working in health, wellbeing and the outdoors as a massage therapist, yoga and meditation teacher, outdoor leader and most recently as a level 6 qualified counsellor. I have additional training in Interpersonal Neurobiology and Body Psychotherapy.
