My journey into counselling began when I sought my own personal therapy to help me negotiate challenges in my life. Through the listening ear of my very patient counsellor I was able to reflect on my past, make sense of my situation and feel empowered to move foreword with hope and purpose into the next chapter of my story.

I trained as an integrative counsellor at Newman University and have been working with adults for a charitable counselling organisation and with Cruse Bereavement Care, as well as running my own private practice. I work as a primary school counsellor in Wales and have recently begun working in a local primary school as a school counsellor.

My counselling room is in my home, in a small village near Tewkesbury.

I am an accredited member of the National Counselling Society and adhere to their ethics and guidelines. I am also a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and I have achieved the BACP Certificate of Proficiency.

Having worked as a teacher for many years, I could see there was a need for children to be given time to be listened to carefully and fully and I completed my training in working with children and young people at the University of South Wales. I have helped children with depression, behavioural issues, obsessive compulsive disorder, self-harm, anxiety, autism, family problems, anger, bullying, low self-esteem, sexual abuse and bereavement. When working with children and young people I may use creative counselling skills, play and sand tray therapy to help the child/young person engage in the process.
