I am a person-centred therapist, meaning that I emphasize listening very carefully to you rather than imposing a structure.
I am also an integrative therapist and draw on knowledge bases such as mindfulness; managing trauma; managing anxiety and depression; processing grief; stress in the workplace; low self-worth and a lack of direction in life.
I was a computer programmer in my first line of work, then an office administrator whilst raising my family. Over the years, I have moved from a science-based orientation to the arts and I have become a practicing artist and developed a spiritual orientation to life. I trained as a counsellor in 2015-2018 at Strode College in Somerset. I took further training at Strode college in 2021-22.
