I believe in treating each person as unique, recognising their individual experiences and perspectives. This respect for individuality allows me to tailor my approach to meet each client's specific needs, ensuring that they receive the support and guidance that best suits their situation. My goal is to create a space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions, knowing they will be met with kindness and empathy.

With a positive and optimistic outlook, I view challenges as opportunities for growth and self-discovery. My sessions are designed to be uplifting and encouraging, helping clients to build resilience and find joy even in difficult times. I prioritize clear, straightforward communication and maintain a genuine, down-to-earth demeanour to facilitate open and honest dialogue.

In every interaction, I strive to embody warmth, cheerfulness, and gratitude. These qualities are central to my practice, guiding me in providing a nurturing and professional experience that supports each client's well-being and personal development. My aim is to help clients not only overcome their challenges but also thrive and embrace their full potential.

My background:

My professional journey began in the design field, where I specialised in packaging, branding and interior design within both corporate and private sectors. This experience ignited my passion for integrating creative stimuli into my work, a principle that continues to influence my approach in therapy. I believe that utilising creative tools can significantly enhance the insight process, making “light bulb” moments more impactful and memorable for clients. By creating a multi-sensory experience, I aim to deepen the client's engagement and understanding.

Transitioning to the educational sector, I gained valuable insights working with neurodiverse students, learning how to motivate and build resilience in those who face challenges within traditional educational settings. This experience sparked my passion for mental health, ultimately leading me to pursue a career in counselling and therapy. Over the past 15 years, I have continually refined my techniques and strategies to support clients and students in achieving their best outcomes, with a keen interest in how neuroscience intersects with emotional well-being.

If you are seeking a counsellor who combines genuine compassion with professional expertise, I am here to support you. My commitment to a values-based, collaborative approach ensures that you will receive care tailored to your unique needs, fostering a safe and trusting environment for your personal growth. Together, we will work towards navigating your challenges and achieving your goals, guided by a foundation of authenticity and optimism. 

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
