Who am I?
My friends and family describe me as kind, friendly and nurturing. Having worked extensively with both adults and young people, I recognise the unique needs and dynamics present in each stage of life.

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in Human Resources, where I developed a strong understanding of people and the importance of feeling listened to and supported. Since qualifying, I've worked with adults and young people from a wide range of backgrounds. I also engage in regular professional supervision and continuing professional development to ensure I provide safe, ethical, and effective support.
