About me
Through working in a variety of roles within mainstream and specialist schools for ten years, I was fortunate enough to be part of different multi-disciplinary teams, and felt hugely inspired and influenced by the therapists who I worked alongside. After taking some time out to travel, and through having my own therapeutic experiences, I decided to embark on the journey of becoming a counsellor & psychotherapist. I completed a BSc (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, and since then have undertaken additional training in areas including School & Adolescent Counselling, Working with Anxiety Issues, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Working with Neurodiversity in Therapy, and Online & Telephone Counselling.
I have worked as a counsellor for young people and adults in a variety of settings including mental health charities, carers’ organisations, health centres, schools and colleges. I moved from London in 2018 and set up private practice offering counselling and psychotherapy in Bradford on Avon, but connecting to other areas including Bath, Trowbridge, Bristol, Chippenham and Frome, as well as areas further afield through the use of telephone and online methods. I am committed to my role as a counsellor and to developing my therapeutic practice, so I regularly participate in additional training in areas including anxiety, depression, anger, stress, neurodiversity, trauma, bereavement, self esteem, mindfulness & self soothing strategies, attachment styles, personality disorders, self harm and eating disorders. I also place great value on learning from other professionals so I continue to engage in regular professional development workshops and training.
