Get to Know Me

Why Choose Me?

Psychotherapy and counselling is such a personalised and unique experience, that I would invite you to speak to me prior to booking a session or meet with me and see how I work for yourself.

What I can tell you is about me - I have always been interested in how we as humans come to be who we are, our histories and stories and how they make us anxious, sad, quick to anger or feel numb in ourselves. This interest fuelled my decision to go into the world of psychotherapy to better understand the human mind. My training has given me the tools and knowledge to help people find themselves and learn to be at one with themselves, others or the events that have hurt them on a deep level.

I have worked with many different individualised issues and struggles, from bereavement to abuse, to childhood traumas to ongoing depression. My belief is that no two humans issues are ever the same, I work with people and their problems at their pace and treat them as unique as the person they are.

Employment History

I have worked in many different mental health settings over 10 years from working with Bereavement charities to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services to University Counselling Services, before taking the decision to start up my own therapeutic practise.

Where I Work

Working Online & Over Telephone

Working virtually in therapy can be both really rewarding and hard. It allows flexibility for you, not having to travel to therapy or worry about childcare etc. But with that it can be hard trying to find space at home where you won't be interrupted, there are always ways around this and I can help you think of a safe place for you to access therapy with me. I once worked with someone who had their sessions in their car - where there is a will there is a way.

I work in my own office at home. Your privacy is guaranteed with me as I only do sessions when I am alone at home, however I can wear headphones if it makes it more comfortable for you.

Face to Face Sessions

In Brighouse, West Yorkshire

I offer face to face sessions in a room at BrigHub in Brighouse, West Yorkshire. It meant a lot to me to find a room that fitted with how I practised and offered a warm, cosy feel to engage in therapy. I hope my room offers this should you wish to meet me face to face.It could be that we do a mixture of face to face and online sessions, whatever works to best suit you and your needs.If you are interested in face to face and would like more details regarding location, please get in touch
