About Me

I am often asked what I specialise in as a therapist, and my response is that I specialise in people.  There could be many reasons which have brought you to this point. Perhaps something doesn’t feel right in your life; something has happened which is affecting you or you want to change something but aren’t sure how.  Whatever the reason, the point is that you're here.

Working alongside a therapist can be a really useful way to explore where you are and how you feel about what's going on in your life.  I provide my clients with a confidential and non-judgemental space where they can explore their thoughts safely.

My Training

I am a qualified Integrative therapist with a Person-Centred foundation. Alongside Person Centred Practices, I incorporate Gestalt, Existentialism, Transactional Analysis and Mindfulness into my work. If you haven’t come across these terms before and are interested in learning more, check out the Links page.

​

In addition to working privately, I volunteer as a counsellor in Reading College supporting young people and adults.  I have supported many young adults from the Autistic Spectrum Centre within Reading College and have attended a Continual Professional Development (CPD) training course to support me work specifically with clients who live with Autism.

I have worked with clients facing lots of challenges, including the following:

• Anxiety, depression, stress, trauma (childhood and adult), family issues, abuse, anger management, relationship issues, moving from teenager to adulthood, grief, living with Autism, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), self-harm, living with a disability, ​eating disorders, exploring gender identity and gender transitioning.

When I’m not counselling clients, I am a qualified Lecturer delivering the CPCAB Counselling skills course at Bracknell and Wokingham College.  I also design and deliver Well-being courses supporting adults with a variety of mental health concerns. These courses include Stress management, Understanding anxiety, Improving self-confidence, Journalling for well being and shortly I'll be designing a course on Managing depression.
