About Me

I've been in full time practice for 11 years.

I have accredited specialism in working with children and young people.

I have an MA in counselling and psychotherapy and a Postgraduate Certificate in supervision (level 7).

In addition to my work in private practice, I've worked as a university lecturer, counselling trainer, counsellor in further and secondary education, and in addiction services. I've worked as a child and adolescent mental health practitioner (CAMHS), parent and family support practitioner and youth project worker. I also have a background in community arts and have worked in a range of projects involving creative arts, music, drama and dance.

​I offer creativity and arts based ways of working for clients who find making and creating a helpful process.

I'm experienced in working with children, young people and adults who present with a range of issues including: bereavement and loss, anxiety, stress, low mood, family issues, eating difficulties, illness, substance use, cultural and societal oppression, self-harm, abuse, suicidal thoughts and feelings.

 

I work with people from across the spectrums of sexuality and gender identities. â€‹

I recognise and value the diversity of intimate relationships.

I work with children, young people and adults who are neurodiverse.

I work with people from different heritage and cultural backgrounds to my own. 

I am committed to anti-oppressive practice.
