At the centre of your being you have the answer; you know who you are, you know what you want

I was born in the UK but have lived more than half of my life abroad. My career spans roles as a journalist, a union representative, and several years teaching at a sixth form college. During this time, I developed a keen interest in unconscious bias, feelings of not belonging, and the challenges of navigating relationship and workplace difficulties. This curiosity ultimately led me to train as a counsellor, where I focus on providing mental health support through integrative approaches informed by my training.

I am a clinical psychotherapeutic counsellor accredited by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP registration number 2011195699). My qualifications include a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling from the Psychosynthesis Trust, which is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP 407718). I adhere to the ethical standards of both professional bodies. 

Additionally, I am studying  at the Dream Research Institute/Centre for Counselling & Psychotherapy and hold Level 2 and Level 3 certificates in counselling skills from the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB). I also possess a Level 2 certificate in Understanding Children and Young People's Mental Health and a PGCE in Post-compulsory Education and Training. 

I am DBS registered and fully insured.
