About Me

I am a qualified counsellor and mentor with over two decades of experience walking alongside young people and adults through some of life’s most challenging seasons.

For more than 20 years, I worked in schools and church communities, supporting young people through one-to-one mentoring, small group work and teaching. I led sessions on self-esteem, resilience and relationships, and created safe spaces where young people could explore difficult emotions and grow in confidence. Building strong, trusting relationships with students, staff and volunteers was at the heart of everything I did.

Alongside my youth work, I spent 8 years in Human Resources, progressing to HR Manager and Business Partner roles. I led recruitment and graduate development programmes, delivered training initiatives, and supported managers and employees through performance and employee relations matters. This experience strengthened my leadership, communication and organisational skills, which continue to shape my professional practice.

I have now established my own private counselling practice, where I work with adults and young people seeking support, clarity and emotional wellbeing. My work is grounded in an integrative approach to counselling, meaning I draw from different therapeutic models and techniques to tailor the work to each person’s individual needs. I believe there is no “one size fits all” approach — each person’s story is unique, and therapy should reflect that.

My training, including an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, underpins my practice, which is compassionate, attentive and grounded in respect. I am committed to creating a safe, confidential space where clients feel heard and valued, and to supporting them as they grow in self-understanding, resilience and hope.

It is a privilege to sit alongside people in their journeys, and I am continually inspired by the courage it takes to seek support and make positive change.
