My Background
I have a background working with parents, carers, communities, and within education, offering guidance and support around trauma, conflict, relationships, low mood, identity, and bereavement. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how life’s challenges can affect our sense of self and connection with others.

After completing my degree in Psychology, I trained as a Montessori teacher, an approach that emphasises independence, self-direction, and learning at one’s own pace within a respectful and supportive environment. This experience reinforced my belief in the importance of empathy, respect, and recognising each person’s individuality. I bring these values into my therapy practice, creating a space where lasting change can occur because you feel genuinely safe, heard, and understood.
With over 18 years of therapeutic experience, I completed my training at The Northern Guild of Psychotherapy, gaining qualifications in Psychotheraputic Counselling and Children and Young People's Psychotherapy. I have since gone on to complete a CYP IAPT Post Graduate Diploma in Systemic Family Practice and have Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) Level 2, which enables me to develop the use of DDP principles within my therapeutic practice.
My Approach
My approach is client-centred, grounded in the belief that you are the expert in your own life. I offer a space of collaboration and reflection, where we can explore what has shaped your past, how it influences your present, and what you want your future to hold.
Working across a range of life stages has given me insight into the unique experiences of children, young people, parents, and adults. Wherever you are in your journey, I aim to meet you with warmth, curiosity, and respect, helping you to find clarity and confidence in moving forward.
