I am a authentic therapist, you get what you see and I dont use a counselling voice. I do not encourage masking in sessions, therefore I do not mask myself, my job is to help you embrace and accept who you.
I work in a creative way to offer therapy that meets your individual needs helping you to figure out a range of difficulties. One of the main areas I work in is finding ways to manage the challenges of anxiety and depression in your daily life. Feeling overwhelmed and not knowing where to start can be a daunting place, I offer a non-judgmental space to talk about things.
Working face to face and online
I am a qualified therapist working with a range of difficulties. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) I am governed by their ethical frameworks and guidelines. I am also a certified Integrative sandplay therapist and a member of the BACP spirituality division.
I am a neurodivergent therapist
