About Me

I work with individuals from a wide range of different cultures and backgrounds. My experience includes counselling children in a primary school setting, young people/adolescents in a senior school and bereavement counselling for adults in a local hospice. As well as my private practice, I currently work with adults at a local charity focusing on anxiety and depression. I also undertake work with the government IAPT programme, and NHS PCT work.

Common themes in my work are: depression and low mood; anxiety and stress; relationship difficulties; childhood difficulties; childhood sexual abuse and neglect; life stage transitions - challenging identity, confidence and self esteem; social isolation; social media difficulties; trauma; serious illness, recovery and managing chronic pain; grief/loss, bereavement - as a process to acceptance; self harm; addiction; disordered eating; suicidal thoughts; self care.
