About me
I am an Integrative counsellor, employing a blend of different theories and approaches to support you in finding the most suitable way forward. I believe in the power of healing through relationships and endeavour to provide a safe and nurturing environment for you to explore your challenges.
Before becoming a therapist, I managed a supported living care home and worked as a support worker with adults and youths with learning disabilities. This experience illustrated to me that the most valuable learning occurs when individuals feel listened to and respected. I bring this non-judgmental attitude to my therapeutic work.
I am deeply committed to assisting those who have undergone loss, and I specialise in bereavement and loss counselling. Throughout the years, I have dedicated myself to helping numerous clients navigate the complex emotions associated with grief. My extensive experience in bereavement services has equipped me with the skills and understanding necessary to create a safe and supportive environment in which clients can openly explore their feelings of hurt and pain. By offering compassion and empathy in my practice, I acknowledge that the grieving process is unique to each person and that there is no "right" way to grieve. It is normal to experience both good and bad days, and I encourage my clients to honour their journey by taking the time they need to heal. My approach is grounded in the belief that recognising and processing these emotions is a crucial step toward finding peace and acceptance.

“People who are aware that they control their emotional and behavioural destinies have a far greater chance of experiencing more joy, less misery, and a healthy stability, even when coping with hardships.”
“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”
“I realize that if I were stable and steady and static, I would be living death. So I accept confusion and uncertainty and fear and emotional highs and lows because they are the price I willingly pay for a flowing, perplexing, exciting life.”
