About me

I’m a qualified counsellor and an Accredited Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I’m also a warm, friendly, curious and compassionate person and I want to hear what you have to say. 

I’m experienced in working with anxiety, overthinking, depression, childhood trauma, bereavement, insomnia, difficulties arising from ADHD or autism, and family dynamics, among many other issues. Alongside my private practice, I have offered counselling to young people and staff in a secondary school, and have worked as a counsellor at Luton All Women’s Centre, supporting women who have experienced abuse, domestic violence and coercive control.

As a certified couple/relationship counsellor, I am also skilled in helping people improve their communication in order to manage conflict and improve how they relate to others.

Before training as a counsellor, I worked for many years in the publishing industry, and I understand well the pressures of juggling work and home life, and managing stress. If you’re struggling with anxiety, or are looking for strategies to manage stress or anger, or simply want to feel less overwhelmed, I can support you. I’m also a parent to a neurodiverse child, and I know the challenges that neurodiverse individuals can face in a neurotypical world.
