I am a therapeutic counsellor with my own private counselling practice based in York, reaching across the UK by providing online counselling as well as in-person sessions.
Counselling is a safe space in which to explore your thoughts and feelings, work through difficult events and unburden yourself, with no judgement and an abundance of compassion.

As a counsellor who has recorded CPD workshops for fellow counsellors/therapists with Counselling Tutor, I am working on my own series of recorded workshops to raise awareness of some of the issues facing transgender individuals, those living with life-restricting conditions/hidden disabilities, those addressing later identification of neurodivergence, and those facing the challenges of ageing.

Clients who have worked with me have said:

“I feel much stronger and able to cope”

“There is something profound about finding someone capable of supporting you by giving permission to be yourself genuinely and guide you through your issues.”

Another client said, "You have given me that gift that living with uncertainty can be OK."

I work with individuals going through significant life transitions, such as relationship challenges, changing roles, retirement, changing sense of identity, and adjusting to later-identified neurodivergence. Often, deeper issues reveal themselves when clients initially present with anxiety or anger, and my work here involves supporting them to manage their emotions more effectively alongside an enhanced understanding of their emotional responses. My clients range in age from 20s to 70s, across various genders, and work with me short-term, long-term or integrating pauses between clusters of sessions. My practice is both neurodivergent affirmative and LGBTQ+ affirmative.
