About Me

Welcome to my therapy practice.

​

Background:

​

Before retraining as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, I worked in HR in the Higher Education sector, helping people with work-related stress, conflict and disputes, workplace adjustments, and confidence coaching. I'm all too aware of the impact that mental health can have at work - and vice versa - and have been drawn to supporting people more directly in a counselling position for a long time. 

​

I qualified from the Northern Guild of Psychotherapy in 2024 and now run my part-time counselling practice from North Shields, primarily working from House Seven (opposite Northumberland Park), although I am happy to offer online sessions too. 

​

What got me into counselling? 

​

The value of having a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space, and sitting opposite a kind and understanding person cannot be underestimated. I experienced my own mental health challenges as a young person and know what it is like to suffer with anxiety, depression and panic, and I am privileged to be able to offer people the same support I found so invaluable when I needed it.
