Special interest areas

I originally qualified as a nursery nurse, where I gained experience working with children 0-5 years; as a family support worker and youth counsellor I have worked with children and young people 5-25 years. As an administrator in a nursing home, I have supported end-of-life clients and those recently diagnosed with dementia. I have experience working with male, female, non-binary, and trans clients, as well as other members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have worked as an in-house counsellor at a drug and alcohol rehab center..

Personal Statement

I am a person-centred counsellor, this mean what you bring to the session is what we will talk about, regardless of the goals you have set; I am also integrative, which means I can utilise techniques, such as CBT or hypnosis, you ensure you have a truly tailored experience. I work with my clients by utilising their strengths to manage areas that can be developed, with a focus on self care and resilience.
