About me
I’m a warm, lively and enthusiastic individual, and I bring this energy to my work. I am interested in each individual’s unique challenges and feel that the support each person needs is just as individual as their experience of the world.
Every young person’s experience is different, and they don’t need to fit into a specific category to seek support. I believe counselling should be a space where feelings and experiences are held and treated with care, and where young people can explore and make sense of what is going on inside.
I work with young people to help them heal, understand themselves better and empower them to truly be the main character in their story.
Who I Work With
I work with young people aged 11–25 who are experiencing challenges, need a space to talk or want to shift something in their life. This can include feelings of anxiety, low mood, stress, life transitions, grief or bereavement, and difficulties with school, friendships or family life. Every young person’s experience is different, and you don’t need to fit into a specific category to seek support. I also have substantial experience working with neurodivergent individuals.
What Therapy Looks Like
I work online, which means clients can receive support in a space they already feel comfortable in. Counselling is a space to have your feelings and experiences held and treated with care. There is no pressure to share anything before you’re ready. You are in control of the pace, and the experience is led by you. Sessions last 50 minutes and are usually weekly, especially at the beginning.
Training and Experience
I am a UKCP-registered Child and Adolescent psychotherapeutic counsellor with 1,500+ hours of counselling experience. I completed my postgraduate training at the University of Cambridge. I completed my training placements in London schools and currently work throughout the UK with a mixture of high school and university students. I continue to extend my professional knowledge through ongoing training to ensure I can be at the forefront of providing impactful mental health and wellbeing support.
Working With Parents and Caregivers
When your child is struggling it can be very painful and leave you as a parent feeling helpless, confused or frustrated. With the best of intentions we can all easily become stuck in loops within family dynamics which are hard to break out of and which can leave us feeling like we are speaking a different language from those we care about the most. When appropriate and whilst keeping the young person’s best interest at the centre I can work with parents of younger adolescents to help families communicate and understand each other better.
Ready to take the next step?
Starting therapy is a big step, and it’s natural to have more questions. I’m here to help you navigate this process and see if we’re a good fit.
