I am an integrative counsellor which allows flexibility within my therapeutic approach. I am able to integrate different therapeutic ideas and tools to work with individuals in a way that is appropriate to their needs and what they would like to gain from therapy. My accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy means my practice has been recognised as having met a higher standard of competence as an ethical practitioner.

Before joining Priory I had the privilege of working within a variety of settings with both adults and young people. I spent a significant amount of time working within education, abuse and trauma, as well as bereavement. It is my own belief that a level of trauma or loss can underpin many difficulties within mental health and how we experience life and interact with others.
