Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Person-Centred therapist and Registered Member of the BACP and work to their Ethical Framework. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Being heard in a safe and confidential space where you are met with warmth, compassion and acceptance is, in my experience, invaluable. This is what I aim to offer to the people I work with. A space and time set aside, just for you, to be how you need to be – without judgement or anyone else’s agenda placed upon you.
Effective counselling can help us to explore and unravel the challenges that arise as we do our best to navigate life in a fast-paced and uncertain world. Having someone to listen mindfully and feedback to us is validating of our experience and leads to deeper personal insights, so that we might come to understand and know ourselves better than before and feel empowered to make changes in our lives.
The quality of the therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor is one of the key factors in achieving effective outcomes and I believe that my existing clientele would assert that they feel cared for and valued in their work with me.
In previous careers, I have worked with people experiencing crises and trauma and experiencing sudden (and violent) deaths. Grief and loss are areas close to my heart and come up for people all the time in many different ways. Having space and time to grieve with someone to be next to you whilst it’s painful, can really offer comfort and movement towards some healing over time.
As a late-diagnosed autistic woman, I really enjoy working with neurodivergent people and indeed, all forms of diversity. I consider myself to be open-minded and embracing of different kinds of lifestyles and family configurations. My own path has encompassed both same-sex and heterosexual relationships and I am a ‘seasoned’ step-mother; definitely having earned my stripes in that department! Whilst I have no personal experience of polyamorous relationships, I am really enjoying working with this client base and open to learning and understanding more about this way of life.
Outside of my counselling work, I love to walk and spend time with my 3 dogs. Travelling is my second favourite thing to do after that and I adore the sunshine! I feel grateful to be able to work with all kinds of people who are brave enough to be vulnerable with me. What a privilege that is. I hope to meet you soon.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether that is via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, and other commitments.
Each therapist involved is a licensed professional, and clients are free to switch therapists at any time if they want a different fit. Online therapy can therefore be a practical and accessible option for many people seeking support.
