I trained at Matrix College of counselling and psychotherapy in Norwich, and hold a BSc (Hons) in Integrative Counselling from Middlesex University. I am professionally accredited with NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and a registered member of BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). As a therapist, I continue to ensure the quality of my work by seeking regular consultation. ​

​

In my private practice, I have worked extensively with adults and couples. I am a trauma informed therapist, working with individuals and for various emergency and frontline services, including Police and veterans experiencing PTSD and trauma. I have a commitment to ongoing professional development in this field.

Prior to working in private practice, I worked with the One to One project in Kings Lynn, domestic abuse charities, and as a counsellor for children and young people with a leading charity and delivered workplace training on mental health issues. In addition I have spent many years working within creative industries including art, artist residencies, design, game design, West End theatre shows and teaching art in schools.

​

Like many others, I have faced challenges in life, which allows me to bring a genuine and accepting presence to my practice. If you are facing your own personal challenges, it can help to talk to someone who still understands what it feels like to begin such a journey, who will support you when life is at its most difficult and will help you achieve lasting, positive change in your life.
