Finding the right therapist can be daunting and it can feel stressful to reach out for support and take that first step. Therapy works best when there is a strong therapeutic alliance and trust in both the therapeutic model and therapist. That is what I aim to provide when you choose to share your story with me.

I work as an integrative therapist which means I can use a variety of models and a range of techniques to suit your needs. I work with individuals, not diagnoses or labels so whatever is troubling you, I offer a safe compassionate space. Everyone needs something different, so we will work together to explore what you want from therapy and how to achieve it.

I have not always been a therapist and come from a varied background. I am a former police officer, teacher, founder and CEO which means I have experienced many different problems and issues along the way. I re-trained as a therapist to help people, studying for a MSc in Psychology as well as qualifying with a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and a Post Graduate qualification in CBT. I am professionally registered with the British Psychological Society, the BACP and the BABCP to reassure you that I work to the highest standards and values.

I have lots of experience in working with victims of all types of crime. I am also experienced in working with relationships issues, anxiety and trauma. I work with adults and adolescents 16+.

No issue is too small. I believe preventing mental health becoming worse is just as important as treating it. You will find me to be an empathetic, goal orientated therapist, that cares about listening to your problems and supporting you to get where you want to be.
