Specialisms

  • Self-esteem/ confidence

  • Body image
  • Anxiety/ worry
  • Low mood/ depression

  • Sight loss

Experience

Throughout my professional training in Counselling Psychology and subsequently, I have worked in both NHS and community-based mental health services. Within these services I have worked therapeutically with clients experiencing a range of difficulties including physical health conditions, sight loss, domestic abuse, self-confidence, body image, childhood trauma, bereavement and loss.

I am a veteran and support the Armed Forces community.

I worked with children and families, as a qualified teacher for twenty years before completing my professional doctorate in Counselling Psychology. In my therapeutic work, I draw on my experience of working within education, especially supporting individuals with special educational needs and disabilities (e.g. ASD, ADHD, dyslexia).

I set up my private practice to help adults (16+) better understand any issues they may be experiencing and work together to find helpful ways to manage or overcome those issues.
