Expertise

    Background

    I qualified to be a Rogerian Therapist in 2005, and have worked in a variety of roles since then. I initially worked with young people in schools, as I have a passion for young people having access to mental health as soon as possible. It is important we normalise mental health well-being as much as physical well-being. I have worked consistently for over 20 years, with a huge range of presentations and clients. 

    I am Accredited with NCPS and am currently working towards my Supervisory qualification. I have specialised in (EMDR) trauma therapy and also non violent resistance, qualified to work with both adults and young people. I come from a Person-Centered approach, but will utilise a variety of tools, if deemed necessary for the client. 

    I am as passionate about Therapy today as I was in my training days, and hope to continue supporting people to navigate through their own journey, to hold their hand as I walk beside them.
