Special interest areas

With years of experience and providing support to individuals and groups from all walks of life I can offer a range of therapeutic approaches. Person-centred Counselling and CBT I believe suit clients entering counselling through individual sessions, Couples therapy and Family/Group therapy particularly online and building a therapeutic alliance remotely. Through years of experience working with ND individuals and groups I am able to provide a supportive, multicultural and diverse environment that offers an online therapy room which is safe. My Person-Centred, Counselling and Psychotherapeutic, Practice enables flexibility for me to adapt to meet individual ND needs and promotes feelings of self-acceptance. Raising self-awareness through talking therapies and working in collaboration can see the application of specifically tailored strategies and techniques suited to both professional and personal settings - in order to accommodate a better quality of life. Being heard empowers ND clients and brings them closer to understanding and accepting a new sense of self; builds confidences and esteems encouraging change and wanting to be heard. .

Personal Statement

I create a safe environment for clients to express themselves freely and heal at a pace that suits them. I truly believe being an expert in one sees me being trustworthy for another. I have an innate ability to put people at ease through my acceptance,empathy and integrity. Real human connections form with the therapeutic relationship. I provide a confidential, ethical and non-judgemental practice. I bring a richness to the therapeutic relationship, as I am able to sit alongside clients while they develop a greater sense of self, realise their true potential and travel a little further, a little lighter through their life.
