About Me

I have over 20 years’ experience of working with adults and young people aged 16+. I have worked in a variety of settings and enjoy offering different approaches which I integrate to best match particular needs. I also provide a creative space with a variety of media to use including clay, paint, postcards and miniature figures. Using the arts needs no previous experience, the focus is on self expression rather than being artistic and is always invitational, not an expectation.

I have worked with a large range of presenting problems including physical, sexual and emotional abuse, self-harm and suicide, anxiety, stress, panic attacks, work related issues, bereavement and loss, depression, identity, life stages, relationship issues, eating disorders, miscarriage, infertility, stillbirth and SIDS.

I am an Accredited Counsellor and a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, whose ethical framework I abide by. I am also an accredited counsellor with The Foundation for Infant Loss. I have a diploma in Counselling and Integrative Arts Psychotherapy, a certificate in Advanced Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy as well as a diploma in Supervision from The Link.
