i believe therapy is a space to explore what's happened in the past, what's going on now, and what might happen next, and to navigate these sometimes difficult roads in order to get back to ourselves

About me
*** TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT: I am working both online and face to face. My Diary is not synced to this platform, so please message me if you want to book a first appointment. I will endeavour to reply within 48 hrs.
Sliding scale also available ***
I'm from the UK, and started out academically with a first degree in Zoology. I drifted into Business following graduation for 10 years, before becoming super frustrated with my life and the 9 to 5. I took a risk and decided to try retraining as a therapist. I went back to college, and then University, and really enjoyed the challenge as a 30 year old going back to Uni.
I have carved out a career in the counselling world, and appreciate the continuous learning journey you experience as a therapist, which feeds back into my work. I'm grateful for the work that i can do, to witness change, and to be able to sit with people through their transformations.
I speak:
English
