Having completed an accredited BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) course to MA level. I offer a warm and welcoming, safe supportive space where you can bring anything and I will not judge you. As an experienced Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I will help you on your journey supporting you though what you want to explore.
I have been supporting students and staff in Education for over twenty years and currently continue to do so. Events in my life caused me to question what I was doing and lead me on the path to counselling. Now a fully qualified counsellor registered with the BACP. I follow their ethical code of practice along with being DBS checked. My experience gives me the opportunity to connect with people of all ages.
In addition to my private practice, I have worked as a counsellor at Selby College and York St John Communities centre.
Below is a list of some areas in which I specialise, but my expertise extends beyond these. You may recognise some, all, or none of them. Please don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss your specific needs.
My free one-to-one consultation session is an excellent opportunity to discuss your needs and explore how counselling or therapy can help you. It is a safe space where you can ask questions and get a feel for how the process works. This session can be an essential step towards taking control of your mental health and psychological well-being.
