I am a person-centred, humanistic qualified and fully insured counsellor, experienced in working with both adults and children and young people (CYP). I am also accredited with the British Assocation of counselling and psychotherapy (BACP), on both their adult and CYP registers and follow their ethical framework in my practice, including supervision requirements. I hold a current DBS certificate and subscribe to the update service. 

Person centred theory underpins all of my work but I also work integratively with younger clients and am trained in the use of the proactive approach. I offer the use of creative resources with all of my clients, adapting to how they would most like to work. Traditional talking therapy can be difficult for some, I find working creatively helps people to express thoughts and feelings in a way that can be hard to put into words. 

​

I use a neuroaffirming approach, have experience of and a special interest in working with neurodivergent clients, and offer a variety of non-traditional approaches that may help with sensory needs. One such approach is the use of Minecraft as a therapeutic tool, which I use weekly in my work. Please see the service section for more information on my use of Minecraft, if this is something that interests you. 

​

My specialism is bereavement, with years of experience working at a local hospice, offering support to those facing end of life and those who are bereaved. However I work with many presenting issues, including anxiety, depression/low mood, low self esteem or relationship issues. My way of working is grounded in compassion, care, empathy, respect and non-judgement. These for me, are fundamental to establishing and building a relationship. I believe that providing these within a counselling relationship, will help clients build self-esteem, emotional resilience and develop stronger coping skills in their lives. 

​

Counselling is a journey-it is your journey and I will help and support you to navigate your way through it, hopefully reaching a greater understanding of yourself and achieving personal growth.

I offer a free 20 minute call to talk over what is bringing you or your young person to counselling and to see if you/they might feel comfortable to meet me for a first session.  My face to face work is based in the Wyre forest surrounding area.
