I offer single session, short and long-term therapy.  My areas of experience are wide-ranging, including bereavement and different types of loss; anxiety; depression; trauma; abuse; suicidal feelings; and neurodiversity. I can help you to understand and improve your relationships and your own well-being.

I trained at York St John University and I am a registered member of the BACP and abide by their professional code of ethics. My clients value the anonymity and confidentiality I offer through my professional practice. I am fully insured and regularly update my skills and qualifications through continual professional development (CPD) training days. I undergo monthly supervision and am DBS checked.

I have worked as a volunteer counsellor at Pickering Medical Centre, York Mind and York St John Communities Centre at York St John University and continue to volunteer at the Next Steps Mental Health Charity based in Kirkbymoorside.

Before becoming a counsellor, I trained as a registered general nurse. I have also worked in Special Needs Education with young people. I taught English as a foreign language when we lived overseas. This experience helps me maintain a holistic perspective on well-being.

Initially, I offer a free consultation, which establishes what you want to achieve from therapy, and which method of access you would prefer and we can decide if we would like to work together.

I work from Rest Relax and Restore Kirkbymoorside, and offer Walk-and-Talk and online therapy.
