I am a dedicated Counsellor with a passion for supporting individuals through life’s

challenges. I have undertaken levels 2, 3 and 4 of professional counselling training at North Hertfordshire College, gaining my qualified status early this year in 2026.

I bring a strong combination of professional experience and emotional awareness from my work within a police intelligence unit handling sensitive and confidential information. This experience strengthened my ability to listen carefully and work through often complex situations to understand what details should not be missed and were important. This has fed into my ability to hear the implicit messages behind what people say verbally. In later life, I worked as a teaching assistant to support neurodivergent children. This complements my communicative style of patience when crisis can be felt or occurring with the importance of creating an environment of consistency and understanding.

With a particular focus on the person-centred approach, I hold a strong belief in the value and worth of each individual which supports and strengthens when they are having feels of low self-esteem/worth/confidence or not belonging. My main aims are to create a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment; we will work together in collectively recognising what can be challenging to or for the client and to help build their emotional resilience.

The most key factor of therapy, to me, is my commitment to fostering a collaborative relationship, where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore their feelings, navigate difficulties, and enhance personal growth.

My dedication is in creating a safe space where we can be curious around the issues that we feel are holding us back, to be able to talk freely and to discuss how we can make different choices that lead to change. You will be the focus of our time together and through empathy and understanding we will work to explore a path forward.

What I can help with:

Alongside my training, I have engaged within continued professional development to gain expertise and experience with domestic abuse, coercive control, bereavement and the grieving cycles, addictions that relate to both substances as well as unhealthy relationship patterns. I have also undertaken some training around disordered eating behaviours. I work with many differing types of issues that affect people to include anxious thoughts, low mood, loss, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, stress and professional-related issues.

I work with adults aged eighteen years and older both on a short-term and long-term basis, sessions are 50-minutes long and regular weekly meetings are the most useful to the client however this is client availability dependent.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
