About Me
I'm a person-centred counsellor and clinical supervisor based in Leamington Spa, offering face-to-face, online and telephone counselling across Warwickshire and throughout the UK.
My own experience of therapy was life changing and played a significant role in my decision to become a counsellor. I understand how difficult it can feel to reach out for support and how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable talking to.
Before training as a counsellor, I spent many years working with children, young people, families and vulnerable adults. Throughout this time, I supported people facing a range of challenges, helping them to improve their wellbeing, build confidence and live more independently.
I gained my Counselling degree from the University of Warwick and have experience supporting adults, children and young people with a wide range of issues, including trauma, sexual abuse, bereavement, loss, addiction, anxiety and low self-esteem.
Alongside my private practice, I spent nine years working within a specialist sexual abuse service supporting children, young people and families affected by abuse and trauma. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the lasting impact difficult life experiences can have and the courage it often takes to seek support.
My approach is person-centred and trauma-informed. I believe that when we feel heard, accepted and understood, we are better able to explore our experiences, gain new perspectives and move towards meaningful change.
I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about whatever is troubling you. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, loss, relationship difficulties or simply feeling overwhelmed, my aim is to provide a space where you feel safe enough to be yourself.
A Little About Me
Outside of my counselling work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outdoors and keeping active.
I particularly value spending time in nature and find that walking can offer an opportunity to slow down, reflect and reconnect. Whether it's a walk through the countryside or simply taking some time away from the demands of everyday life, being outdoors helps me maintain a sense of balance and wellbeing.
I also enjoy going to the gym and understand the importance of looking after both our physical and emotional health. For me, wellbeing is not about being perfect, but about finding ways to care for ourselves and create space for the things that matter most.
Whatever has brought you here, you do not have to face it alone. If you would like to find out more about counselling or discuss how I may be able to support you, please feel free to get in touch.
I understand that starting counselling can feel like a big step. You may be feeling uncertain, nervous or unsure where to begin. We will work together at a pace that feels right for you, and there will never be any pressure to talk about anything before you are ready.
Whatever has brought you here, you do not have to face it alone.
Counselling Experience
Alongside my private practice, I have gained experience working with adults, children and young people across a range of settings.
For nine years, I worked with RoSA (Rape or Sexual Abuse Support Service), supporting survivors of rape, sexual abuse and trauma. During this time, I worked with adults for four years and children and young people for five years, providing one-to-one counselling, group work and support within schools and colleges.
As part of my private practice, I have also worked as a school counsellor for Snowford Grange, supporting young people with a range of emotional and mental health difficulties. I have experince of working within educational settings and understand some of the unique challenges that children, young people and familes can face.
I have worked with Access Your Ability, providing counselling and mentoring support to individuals and those navigating a variety of personal challenges, whilst studying and supporting them develop their own tool-kit.
Alongside this, I support university students through Pairel platform, offering counselling around issues such as abuse, anxiety, relationship challenges, loss and many of life's struggles.
Throughout my counselling career, I have supported people experiencing trauma, abuse, anxiety, low self-esteem, loss, relationship difficulties and many of life's struggles.
My approach is person-centred and trauma-informed. I believe that when people feel heard, understood and accepted, they are better able to explore their experiences, develop self-understanding and move towards positive change.
I continue to feel privileged to walk alongside people during difficult times in their lives and to witness the strength, resilience and growth that can emerge through the counselling process.
