About me

Through my training, counselling work and personal life experience, I have come to understand the importance and healing potential of the relationships we experience. Compassion, acceptance and trust are the roots of my counselling practice, and within this space, I believe we have the opportunity to grow in all areas of our lives. I understand that we are only ever doing the best with the tools we have, and I approach other people’s inner worlds with a great deal of care and respect. The things we deem as bad, wrong or “weird” about ourselves are often how we have adapted and learned to cope, particularly in our younger years.

I welcome people from all walks of life to my service and deeply value the differences in all of us. Counselling is not about changing into something you are not; it is an environment that encourages the discovery and development of who you really are.

On a personal level

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked as a music producer and spent many years travelling the world performing. I still make music as a creative outlet and find it a deeply meaningful part of my life.

In 2017, I made the choice to change careers and focus on how I could be of help to those who were struggling. I have been through many years of counselling myself, which underpins my belief and passion in the therapeutic process. I know just how life-changing it can be to take 50 minutes a week to go inwards in the company of someone who truly wants the best for us.

I have a great deal of interest in meditation, taking influence from Eastern philosophy. Whilst exploring the past certainly has a place within my counselling practice, I believe our relationship to the present moment can bring us a greater sense of balance and fulfilment in life. Essentially, I see this as a way to bring our attention to the feelings we have in the here and now, giving us time to understand and process them without finding ways to avoid or label them as wrong.
