About Me

​

You might feel daunted or overwhelmed by the thought of starting therapy. You might feel unsure about what to expect or worry about opening up to a complete stranger! Please know that this is completely understandable. 

When you're not feeling good about yourself or you're grieving, it can be difficult to express your own needs and to communicate them to the people around you.

Right now things might feel bleak and difficult and you might ask yourself how simply talking can help but often we don't take the time to reflect on our feelings and therapy can give you an opportunity to step away from the chaos of daily life and to hear your own voice. 

I am a Counsellor but I have also been in therapy so I understand the nerves, apprehension and doubts you might be feeling. I want to reassure you that a warm welcome awaits you.

I qualified as a Counsellor in 2015 and I worked in the NHS and charity sector for several years. I'm also a pet owner  and I have a deep understanding of the pain and sorrow losing your pet or companion animal can cause. The pictures on this page are of our family dog Sheba who died in 2018 and of my cat Charlie who died in 2024. Both are dearly missed. Grieving for your pet or companion animal can be a hidden grief because people don't tend to talk about or understand this particular loss which can leave you feeling isolated and alone. This is why I offer Pet Bereavement Therapy alongside my other Therapy services.

If you have any questions or want to book an initial, free, 20 minutes telephone call in which we can get to know each other and decide whether I'm the right therapist for you, please get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you :)
