I am a qualified Psychotherapist and am registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I have over 8 years of counselling experience and have worked in a variety of settings. I initially started my journey supporting children and adolescents, working within the local authority in both primary and secondary schools for over 4 years, before going on to support children and young people living in the care sector. I continue to do this work in a range of children's care homes and have more recently started supporting both adolescents and adults in the professional sports industry. I use a range of therapeutic methods depending on the needs of the individual. I believe each person is different and therefore focus my work on the individual need. I base my practice on the Person-Centred Approach, also incorporating my training in Emotion Focused Therapy. My passion is to support each individual by journeying with them through their therapy experience, providing a safe, confidential space for them to explore both past and present experiences and emotions, and to assist in finding inner healing.

Before working as a therapist, I worked for 12 years in primary schools, assisting children with additional learning needs. My role was also as an emotional well-being practitioner, working with young people who had behavioural and emotional issues, and those in the care system. As I built my relationships with young people, it gave me an opportunity to develop connections with the family, building relationships with them and working together as a team to support the young person, which is hugely important. I have been able to carry this approach across into the therapy environment.

I also have experience working with the online counselling service.

I have worked in variety of settings:

• Youth Work
• Day Nurseries
• Group Work
• Primary & Secondary Schools
• Individual Face-to-face Counselling
