For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to work in mental health. However, the only representations I saw when I was younger were older men holding a clipboard with their clients on a Chaise Longue, asking "…and how did this make you feel?"

​

My interest in psychology and mental health only grew when I decided to study Criminology at University, gradually becoming more interested by how people's background, their relationships and their stories can impact the person they are today. After graduating I began an MSc in Counselling Psychology. By going on this journey, it allowed me to discover the therapist I wanted to be, and I knew I could support others who were on their own personal journey.

​

For me, the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspects of how I work, and this is why I endeavour to show up as my full authentic self in every session and I'll encourage you to do the same. By doing this in a real and down to earth way, I hope to build trust, nurture openness and break down the stigmas that often come with psychotherapy.

 

Therapy can be tough mentally, emotionally and physically too. This is why I also believe that laughter and joy are an integral part of therapy, so I strive to hold space for these in our sessions.

​

Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, such as supportive housing for people struggling with mental health difficulties, male and female prisons, a bereavement charity and the NHS. I feel so privileged to have seen such a variety of clients and supported them with the challenges they bring. Hopefully this gives you the confidence in me to offer you the support you need too.
