About me

Before training as a counsellor I worked in various roles over the years but was left feeling like I wanted more from life. I knew that something had to give and I had to make the change so I decided to embark upon a complete career shift. I wanted a role where I could support others in their time of need and have a genuinely positive impact. My dream of running my own counselling practice is a blessing and it is a privilege to work with so many clients from all walks of life.

In my spare time I enjoy being outside in nature, whether that be hiking or 4x4 off-roading! Equally, I enjoy the warmth of home comfort, sitting down with a good book and a cup of tea. My faith plays a big part of who I am and is a source of strength for me.
