My own quiet path of reflection began over ten years ago, leading me to become fascinated by the healing power of human connection. When the time was right, I completed my counselling training, achieving the level 4 diploma in person-centred counselling. I worked for a dementia-focussed and end-of-life specialist nursing home, where I supported families as they managed the transition of their relative moving into the home, and with bereavement. I also worked for a local mental health charity, supporting people living in crisis and with complex trauma. Time with the NHS supporting people with anxiety and depression further broadened my experience. Alongside my counselling qualification, I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate. My personal experience of deeply connected, restorative counselling relationships during this time has profoundly influenced how I work today. I believe the true value of the therapeutic relationship lies in providing a secure, safe space for exploration, healing and growth.

I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate profound change. Person-centred counselling puts you at the heart of the process, allowing you to lead the way to self-discovery and lasting well-being.
