My Values 

I have over 10 years experience of working one to one with individuals facing a wide variety of issues that that they need support with. I am particularly interested the supporting people to make positive changes and have worked in various third sector organisations.I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse. I believe that you have the resources that you need to be able to lead the life that you deserve and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I am also an artist and am interested in working creatively with you in order to support you in whatever you choose to bring to your sessions. I also use visualisation and grounding techniques in my sessions which will be designed and tailored around what you need. My approach is Integrative and my training is in Person centered therapy. I have recently completed some training on Narcissism in relationship so am practicing as a Narcissist Aware Therapist.

 Currently alongside Counselling I  work in a University setting as a Mental Health Mentor with students and also for a Third sector charity supporting unpaid carers from a strengths based perspective. I also have Forest school and wellbeing in Nature qualifications and love being outside myself. I have  facilitated various groups in woodland and green space enabling individuals to  connect with themselves,  each other and nature. I have seen the benefits of this as a therapeutic tool. I offer sessions in Woodland and the outdoors under a covered area with a fire as a focus ( April 2025 onwards) My practice centers around you and what you need from therapy with me. I work in a strengths based way looking at what you want to work towards and how we might get there. 

I work in person in  the outdoors in a woodland setting, in a confidential indoor space and also online. My approach is reflective and exploratory with the understanding that you have the solutions and the resources in order to meet this and my role is around supporting you to achieve this.
