about me

I hold an MA/Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling (UKCP) and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling (BACP).

​

As well as working in private practice, I've taught and lectured at various counselling and psychotherapy organisations. I currently teach at Re-Vision, an Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy Training Institute. I run Professional CPD Workshops for all professionals in the caring professions. For more information, please see my page on Group Facilitation.

​

I’ve volunteered at charities, offering counselling to the local community, as part of my commitment to inclusion. I've been a Specialist Mentor for a social enterprise supporting disabled and neurodivergent adults. I've delivered telephone counselling to young people at Childline. I've worked with adults with long-term mental health issues, in supported housing, as part of the Forest Community Project. I work with and welcome clients from diverse backgrounds. I hold a firm commitment to anti-oppressive practice.

​

My first MA was in English Language and Literature at Oxford University. I previously worked in the fields of journalism, art and creative writing. 

Authentic relationships enrich my life and my work. Genuine empathy, curiosity and warmth allow us to make soul connections. I hope to combine wisdom and humility. I’ve faced my own life challenges. I've found compassion, care and creativity from my therapists. I aim to provide the same.

​

I believe we all have the capacity for transformation, and this is a gift we're offered throughout our lives. Often, we have more than we know. We have riches that include our bodies, our breath, the ground beneath our feet and the sky above us. We can look inside, to discover our authentic selves, and look up, to see that we're part of something bigger than us.
