About me:
I am a fully qualified Person Centred/Humanistic Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapist.
I have been practising in the therapeutic sector for over 5 years and established in private practice for 2 years. My practice is situated in a private rural location, offering a confidential and comfortable space for Counselling and I offer a fee structure for all financial situations, enabling access to private therapy to all walks of life.
I have particular interest and specialism in human relationships and attachment theory. These relationships could be historical, parental, social and romantic, all of which I believe affect the people we are and have become throughout our lives. Through my experience of working with addictions have found this specialism to have a significant impact in helping recovery.
