I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

My purpose is to help you make positive change to your life, and my core values are integrity, humility, empathy, courage and justice, and most of all caring for others.

I am licensed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. My main experience is working with cancer patients, including those facing end-of-life, and their family members. I also have experience in working with people with anxiety and depression, and those experiencing work-related stress, relationship issues, and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse.

I work in an integrated way, combining a person-centred approach with cognitive behavioural therapy, psychoanalysis, transactional analysis and solution focused brief therapy, all delivered in a totally non-judgemental way and tailored specifically to your needs.

I run my counselling practice part time. I am also a civil servant. Prior to that, I held leadership roles in the NHS, local government, the private sector; and the voluntary sector where I was also a unit manager, leadership coach, ambulance crew and a volunteer first responder. I was an army reservist for nine years, serving as a combat medical technician. I am passionate at helping people in public service solve their issues and improve their life.

I am also a stroke survivor.

I work part time in the evenings from 7pm to 10pm weekdays, except for Tuesdays, and on Saturdays 11am to 2pm. I normally respond to messages in the evening, and I expect to be able to get back to you within 24 hours. If you need to cancel a session, please try to give 48 hours’ notice if possible.
