About me

As a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist, I value depth in conversation, the discoveries that can be found in silence, authentic and trust-filled relationships, witnessing somebody make unexpected revelations about themselves, and the bravery it takes to speak one’s truth. 

Influencing my way of being is the belief that the culture around us shapes our experience of the world. My practice is trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, feminist, and queer. I hold an awareness of oppressive social systems like race, class, gender, sexuality and ability and I bring my humanity to my work. I take a contemporary, historical, cultural and intersectional approach to therapy. 

I am deeply fascinated by ancient archetypes, philosophy, imagery, metaphor and the search for meaning.

As the vessel of suffering, I am mindful of how our bodies can store trauma and that they are our most powerful ally in healing from it. By considering both the mind and the body, I lean into a holistic, trauma-informed approach to therapy. 

My path to becoming a counsellor first began in Bristol where I studied for a Bachelor’s (BSc) degree in Psychology. Since then I have completed a Master’s (MSc) degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Keele University, for which I was awarded a distinction. My studies and practice in Person-Centred Therapy have shown me the magic (and potency) of paying attention to the present moment, the power of staying with experience without attempting to change it, and the importance of being seen and heard.  

My work as a counsellor has included private practice, volunteering with those who have cancer diagnoses and with their loved ones, as well as working as part of a team of counsellors at a women’s refuge. This work has grounded my belief that change is possible. By bringing light to what causes us pain, with curiosity, kindness and compassion, we can connect to the natural healing capacity within us all.
