Graduating with a BA (Hons) degree in Person-Centred Counselling from the University of Warwick, having enjoyed the experiential aspect of their renowned course, and completing over 500 hours of supervised counselling and many hours of personal therapy myself, I feel I have shown commitment to providing the best personal therapy I can.
I came to counselling though my own positive experiences of receiving therapy, I learned the value of spending dedicated time with someone who allowed me to talk about all the things that I couldn’t talk to anyone else (especially family and friends), about. I also enjoyed the freedom to really ‘be me’ in the therapy room, this is reflected in the honest and open way that I work with my clients.
As a warm, open and genuine person; I have the strength, courage and empathy to be with you while we explore how your feelings and experiences have shaped your life, and whilst you decide where you want to go next.
