About Me

I'm a professionally-qualified counsellor who has also taught and practised as a designer for many years. With this background, I'm able to draw on a unique skill set to offer my clients both talk therapy and non-verbal ways of working together.

My approach

My way of working is focused on helping you to find what you need, rather than a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.

I’m a Person-Centred therapist. This means that I work in a way that is accepting of each person’s unique identity and life experiences. I believe that we are experts of our own lives so I see my role as a facilitator who can encourage and support clients to find their own solutions – without judging or offering advice.

For many people it can be helpful to talk through problems in a confidential space with a professional, objective and non-judgemental listener.

Some of my clients have found it really useful to express themselves and to explore issues using a combination of talking and non-verbal art tools. Art and drawing have helped to give problems a visible form and shape.

I’m a general counsellor who has been trained to work using an Integrative approach. This means that I’ve learned skills from different therapy modalities and can work using two or more approaches. These benefits ensure my approach is responsive and tailored to individual needs, interests and treatment preferences. 

Clients have described my approach as 'calm', 'non-judgemental' and 'encouraging'. I'm passionate about helping people to express themselves and their needs, to be seen and heard, and to live life courageously.
