In addition to being a psychotherapist, I am also a wife, mum and carer for numerous pets. I love nature and wildlife, interests which are easy for me to indulge due to me living in a rural area. I am both a cat and dog person and own far too many books!

I worked for over a decade in the legal world before embarking on a complete change of direction where I studied human development and education. I've always been interested in people and their stories and helping others to have a more meaningful life and that's what led me on to training as a therapist. An important part of my therapy training was that I spent many hours in therapy. That experience helps me to understand what it is like to experience counselling and psychotherapy

My counselling experience includes working for Mind, Cruse Bereavement Care, NHS referred clients, clients referred from a farming charity, and pet bereavement support for the Blue Cross. Additionally, there’s a huge range of issues men and women come to me with in my private practice. A particular area of interest is working with academics such as PhD students, researchers, lecturers and other university staff and also medical staff.
