My Counselling Journey

I began my working life as a hairdresser, and loved getting to know my clients personally through the art of hairdressing. Creating exterior images that made people feel good, had a parallel effect on my own sense of self.  I always wanted to be able to support people on a deeper level, rather than a superficial one.

I was motivated to become a Counsellor, through personal therapy. Counselling tranformed my self-esteem and I was able to believe in myself once again. The support that I received gave me a sense of who I truly was and I gained confidence in my autonomy. The positive change empowered me.

I felt drawn to support other people in a similar way.

In January 2022, I gained my Counselling

Diploma and became a member of the BACP, professional body for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Since this time I have been supporting people with emotional distress, anxiety, grief and relational difficulties.

My approach is Person-centred and I work with the Polyvagal Theory of understanding the stress response during trauma. Offering a safe space, regulation, empathy, acceptance and connection. 

Change is a process of self-awareness and acceptance. 

Learning to trust your own instincts, gain a sense of autonomy and acceptance, frees a person to make their own choices in life and connect to what feels right.

I am passionate about the Counselling process and inspired by the courage of my clients.
