About

If you are thinking of booking a session or a course it is only right that you know a bit about me!

I am a fully qualified BACP Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I have over ten years of experience in supporting people to deal with a wide variety of issues, with a particular focus on overcoming anxiety, building confidence and self-esteem and managing stress.

I very much enjoy working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds and help empower them to overcome their struggles and build lifelong skills to manage stress, anxiety and confidence issues. This helps them to achieve their goals and manage their well-being.

I have a particular interest in taking a holistic approach to your well-being, which can be so important when managing anxiety and stress. Over the years I have found that this approach has been incredibly helpful for clients. It helps them to understand their experience and equips them with tools to continue managing their well-being even after they have completed their therapy.

I have always had an interest in the benefits of Nature to our well-being and am exploring this further in my Doctoral research. There are many ways to incorporate some Nature-connection into our lives to reduce anxiety and stress and I enjoy working with clients to tailor this to their individual needs.

Over the years I have worked with a range of clients from different backgrounds, with different life-experiences and who are experiencing various difficulties. For example I have worked in private practice, mental health charity, rape crisis, occupational health and EAP services. I have also worked for over ten years providing specialist support to students, helping them to thrive at college and university.

Anxiety can affect anyone and I enjoy supporting clients to find their way forward and feel better.

In addition to being a Psychotherapist, I am also an EMDR therapist (I am a member of EMDR UK and EMDR Europe), Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master Teacher, Life Coach, Mentor and Specialist Mental Health Mentor. I enjoy bringing together all of these skills to really empower clients to overcome their anxiety.

I am also a Clinical Supervisor and provide supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists, as well as to other professionals.

Previously based in Rainhill Village, I now offer all services remotely, making it easier for clients to fit sessions in with their schedules and meaning that I can support clients across the country.
