I am passionate about enabling people to find their own path to healing from trauma and adverse experiences, learning how to care for themselves and to grow in self-awareness and self-compassion. My warm, empathic approach creates a safe space for healing and growth. I believe that change happens, paradoxically, when we experience freedom from the pressure to change ourselves to meet the expectations of others. Through non-judgemental acceptance in the therapeutic relationship, healing comes from our own growing self-acceptance.
I am a trained and experienced counsellor, with a BA (Hons) in Integrative-Relational Counselling. I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), one of the leading professional bodies for counselling, and follow their guidelines for ethical practice. I offer individual therapy in person, online or by telephone.
