I am an integrative counsellor working alongside clients in areas such as stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and changes in life circumstances, bereavement, eating disorders and couples counselling.

I provide a safe, non judgmental space for clients to be heard where they can explore overwhelming feelings, thoughts and unhelpful behaviours. To enable personal growth in awareness and resilience, while supporting them emotionally in their choices to make changes that will help develop increased life skills and more helpful behaviours.

I was initially introduced to counselling when I took over a LighterLife franchise, supporting clients with weight management issues. I was trained to facilitate group work using counselling tools and I realised the clients changed more as they grew in understanding and awareness, and developed better self worth, than just by losing the weight.

In addition to working at Eastgate, I have been a volunteer counsellor at a counselling service in Essex for nearly five years. I also have a private practice. I am a member of Deep Release which focuses on creative counselling methods and I am also a member of the Association of Christian Counsellors.
