About me

My own past experiences and time in therapy as a client has resulted in me having immense interest in the world of mental health and immeasurable compassion and warmth towards those who choose to sit with me in comfort and safety.

My journey through life showed me that there never seems to be time and space for individuals to talk and be heard. Listening is a skill; it involves complete focus on the person who is talking; paying detailed attention to what is being said and not said; listening with feeling and empathy towards the other person’s life story; always trying to put oneself in the other’s shoes. These skills and attributes add up to a very rewarding experience for both myself and the other person. This and my passionate interest in psychological health and well being is what drives me to treat each individual I meet as a new and unique experience to be treasured.

I have practiced within an NHS Complex Care Team and Community Mental Health Team during my years of training. I am now committed to my private practice as well as volunteering as a counsellor, to a charitable organisation.
