About me

I am a fully qualified teacher and counsellor, and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I have a passion for supporting young people and their families through the challenges of growing up in the 21st century, and offer a holistic approach to mental health. I work in an integrative way incorporating different theory and methodology to tailor therapy to the needs of the individual. My background in education fuels an interest in psychoeducation and the power of understanding how and why feelings, relationships and experiences impact our lives. I can support you to develop resilience, manage strategies and develop communication tools within a safe and secure, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship.

Alongside my private practice I work as a counsellor in schools in Somerset, for a charity providing counselling for young people.

What is counselling?

We all have stresses and struggles in our life. Counselling is a space for you to explore your experiences, feelings and emotions. It is a space where you are the focus and are free to explore whatever is weighing you down. My job is to listen and support you through whatever you are facing; I am not here to offer opinions or advice but to walk alongside you as you explore, offering support and encouragement with understanding, compassion, and empathy. Your job is to talk, honestly, openly and without fear – to say the things out loud that you have kept hidden inside. All I ask is that you are brave, open to change, and willing to engage in the journey.

What to expect?

I offer a free 30 minute initial consultation by phone where we can explore if we are comfortable to work together. Counselling is currently online via Zoom or by phone. Counselling is most effective when attended weekly. Sessions are 50 minutes in length and will be scheduled for the same time each week. I usually suggest working for 6 sessions and then a review. Some people find 6 sessions is enough, others have counselling for months or even years.
