A little about me…

I am a qualified therapist and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work to the BACP’s ethical framework, which means I undertake regular supervision and commit to engaging in ongoing training and development. I have a BSc (Hons) Counselling and Therapeutic Studies and a Postgraduate Diploma Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have undertaken Mental Health First Aid training with Mental Health First Aid England, and Suicide First Aid (ASIST).

As a therapist, I have worked in bereavement, mental health and University services. Most recently I have worked as a counsellor in a sexual violence charity.

I have had the opportunity to work in a voluntary capacity with a local refugee charity, and more recently on a helpline for girls and women who have experienced sexual violence. 

Prior to working as a therapist, I spent a number of years working within University disability services, supporting disabled students to ensure all aspects of their teaching and learning experience was accessible to them. In this time, I worked extensively with neurodiverse communities and have facilitated social groups for Autistic students. I have also worked as a mentor, working 1:1 with students who have ADHD, and long term mental health conditions. 

During this varied experience, I have worked with people from a diverse range of backgrounds, cultures and experiences. I have a passion for working with people from the LGBTQ+ community, and offering a therapeutic space to those who may feel on the margins of society. Within my work, I will work hard to create a space that feels both safe and empowering.
