I offer Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy -

As a fully qualified and accredited Integrative Therapist, I am here for you.

I believe therapy can help people live fulfilling and meaningful lives; to make sense of themselves and the world around them.

We are all unique, and as an Integrative Therapist, I draw on different approaches to work with my clients in a bespoke way.

We would work together in a compassionate and curious way to explore your emotions, understand and empower yourself, and cultivate change.

I can help with:

-Identity
-Feelings of 'stuckness'
-Grief and loss
-Anxiety
-Low mood
-Self-esteem
-Relationships
-Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity (GSRD)
-LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy
-Eco therapy and nature connection
-Neurodiversity affirming therapy

I am dedicated to providing a safe, professional and supportive space to work together to navigate the challenges that come with being human.

I have over 15 years of experience working within welfare sectors in various settings; supporting mental health and well-being, financial hardships and those in education. I started my therapeutic training over 10 years ago and the journey to this point has offered a vast and enriching experience for personal and professional growth.

Within my therapeutic practice, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, with a wide age range and varying challenges. I have found it incredibly rewarding to support individuals in their journeys toward personal growth and healing.

My practice is located at Dartington Estate, where the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape encourages nature connection and offers a tranquil and inspiring backdrop for therapeutic work. My room is private, fully accessible for wheelchair users and is conveniently located by a car park. I offer a variety of session times to accommodate different schedules and am open to concession rates, as I believe therapy should be accessible to all.

If you are seeking a compassionate and curious Therapist who is committed to your journey, I would be honoured to work with you. I welcome you as you are, without judgement.

I offer a free 15 minute consultation call via telephone or video to discuss your needs, answer any questions you have and consider if you would like to work together. Please do get in touch.
