Welcome — I’m a counsellor (MBACP), trainer, wellbeing consultant, and mentor for trainee counsellors, offering evidence-based and compassionate support for individuals, organisations, and developing practitioners.
My career began in the defence sector after completing my PhD in Physics. Although I valued the analytical rigour of that work, over time I became increasingly aware of the profound impact mental health has on people’s lives—the way it can shape choices, relationships, wellbeing, and the overall sense of fulfilment. This awareness was shaped both through my professional experiences and through receiving counselling during a challenging period in my own life. The impact of that support led me to retrain, completing a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
Since then I have worked across education, the voluntary sector, and private practice. I lecture on Skills and Education Group–accredited counselling courses up to diploma level and have led learning and development initiatives for helping professionals, including CPD training, group work, and workplace wellbeing consultation.
To provide clients with flexible, evidence-based support, I have undertaken further practitioner training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as CPD in trauma-informed approaches, creative therapies, DBT and suicidality, adolescent therapy, attachment-based practice, dream work, group facilitation, and safeguarding (including DSL and child exploitation training).
Alongside my practice, I am completing a Master’s in Psychology and volunteer as a Health Champion, reflecting my understanding of the strong connection between physical and mental health. My interests in nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle-based wellbeing also inform my holistic approach, supporting clients in building healthier, more balanced, and meaningful lives.
Whether you are seeking counselling, mentoring, CPD training, or wellbeing consultancy, my aim is to provide a warm and professional space where you can grow, build resilience, and develop the confidence to live in a way that aligns with your values.
