About me
I am a friendly, welcoming person and feel privileged to work alongside people as they explore their lives, experiences and feelings. I retrained as a counsellor later in my life, having always had a passion for understanding people, supporting others and making sense of the complexities of the world and our place within it.
I came to recognise how much my own life experiences, alongside my desire to keep learning, could bring to this work. At the core of who I am is a drive for change on both an individual level and in the wider world. I know that change isn't always easy or comfortable, and I aim to offer a space where you can feel supported as you navigate whatever that process looks like for you.
Outside of counselling, I spend a lot of time learning, getting out into the world, and exploring my own creative hobbies and interests. I’m not here to be the expert on you or your life. I believe in equality and collaboration both in the counselling room and outside of it. You will always find me professional, taking your experiences seriously, with a real sense of humanity and honesty.
