About Me

I gained my MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Derby in 2018. Since then I have worked with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties as stated above. I have a passion for helping clients who had adverse childhood experiences understand how this has impacted them and help overcome the challenges that this has created for them.  I have great insight, sensitivity and understanding into early attachment and childhood relational wounding and specialise in helping clients with this. 
​​​​​
I also support clients who identify as neurodivergent and or LGBTQ+ helping them navigate daily life and interpersonal triggers.
​
Over the past number of years I have discovered Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and the many ways clients are benefitting from this type of therapeutic approach. In April 2025 I attained the official Level 1 IFS certification from the https://ifs-institute.com/ â€‹â€‹
