I am a fully qualified Counsellor and registered member of the BACP and have been working and volunteering in mental health and therapeutic settings for the past 15 years.

As a counsellor and in my professional life I have worked with many different organisations and with people whose experiences are incredibly varied and unique. With each person, I work with I seek to keep in mind the different lives we live and how our histories and the structures of society impact our well-being and opportunities for change.

Some of the issues not previously mentioned which I have experience of working with in counselling include: Anxiety and Generalised Anxiety disorder Low mood and depression Panic Attacks Feelings and thoughts related to suicide Complex trauma Historic abuse Relationship issues Isolation Self-harm Problems arising from study Issues of self-worth Exploring feelings of sadness

Therapeutically my experience outside of private practice includes counselling residents at the YMCA and at Nottingham Trent University in the United Kingdom, during which time i received my Counselling Masters Degree and Post-Graduate Certificate in Advanced Counselling Practice working with University Students as a Specialist Mental Health Mentor across a range of Universities in the UK, facilitating group workshops including holistic development circles and working with children and young people in play.

I have participated in personal therapy and attended immersive therapeutic trainings and workshops regularly over the past 15 years. This work has shaped me as a counsellor and helps me understand how I wish to practice as a therapist.

I'm dedicated to continual learning, to developing myself as a practitioner and seeking to understand how I might best meet the needs of every person I work with.
