I am a fully qualified pscyhotherapeutic counsellor and clinical supervisor working in Herefordshire.

My life has been eclectic and challenging. I was born in England and I’ve spent much of my life between the UK and South America.

I came to counselling after many years working in the humanitarian sector for the  International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and  the British Red Cross. After working with people affected by disasters and conflict, I realised that I wanted to work with people therapeutically, and joined the NHS whilst retraining as a cognitive behavioural therapist and counsellor.

I offer a space that helps you gain a clearer understanding of yourself, your experiences and your situation. I work in conventional therapy settings and in nature, inspired by the fact that we all have the power within us to live a life we love…
