All About Me

‘The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.’  
- Pablo Picasso

Welcome to my website. I have been counselling since 2016 and prior to this had many years experience working with children, young people, parents and caregivers. I am an accredited member of the BACP and hold an up-to-date DBS. 

I truly believe in the power of counselling to help us get through life’s challenges within the safety of the therapeutic relationship. I have benefitted greatly from my own personal therapy and believe this to be a gift to pass on to others.

There are many things that stop us from being our true authentic selves including poor mental health, negative self-beliefs, relationship problems, traumatic life events and stressful circumstances. I am passionate about helping you to explore these things within a confidential setting and empowering you to be the best possible version of yourself.

My Services

‘Life, at its best, is a flowing, changing process in which nothing is fixed.’ 
- Carl Rogers

I am an integrative counsellor working with both adults and young people. My training means that I am able to adapt my therapeutic style to best meet your needs.

I passionately believe that we are all capable of change when given the right environment. Even when our situation seems impossible or devastating, growth is always possible.

I offer face-to-face sessions in my East Devon therapy room, as well as online sessions which can be accessed from the comfort of your own home. I only ask that you have a confidential space that you can speak from and a reliable internet connection.

Counselling

Whatever your reason for seeking out counselling, I’m dedicated to helping you find your way to better mental health. I believe in helping you to work through the difficulties that stop you from living your most authentic life. 

I work with both adults and young people. I am particularly experienced in working with trauma, neurodiversity, abuse and loss.

Trauma Therapy

I am trained by the NHS as a trauma therapist using Trauma Focused CBT. This therapy is recommended by NICE guidelines for being the most effective in treating PTSD. Please get in touch for more information.

Supervision

I am available to offer counselling supervision both online and in-person. My training is integrative with an additional trauma specialism. My experience is with both young people and adults. 

I charge a fee of £50 per hour. There is no time limit on our work together, but rather a collaborative conversation on how and when you feel ready to part ways.

I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation, so feel free to reach out with any questions and to see if you think I am the right fit for you.
