Schedule a complimentary, no-obligation 15-minute consultation to gently explore how therapy might support you. This is a relaxed, no-pressure space where you can get a sense of how I work, ask any questions you may have, and decide whether we feel like the right fit to work together.

With over 20 years of experience supporting children, young people, adults, couples, and groups, I have worked across community, healthcare, education, and voluntary sector settings.

My ongoing professional development, combined with extensive training in counselling, hypnotherapy, somatic therapy, EFT, breathwork, IEMT, trauma-informed practice, and humanistic approaches, enables me to offer personalised support that honours the uniqueness of every client.
