ABOUT ME

Hi, thank you for visiting my website. I’m an integrative counsellor based in North Devon who enjoys working with adults and young people.

I have a private practice, work in a school and volunteer at a local mental health charity. I work face to face and online.

I believe that deep within us all is a place of peace and equilibrium that becomes obscured by life’s difficulties and how we’ve been treated in the past.  It’s a privilege and a joy to help someone find that place and watch them change and enjoy life again.

I work intuitively, drawing on different aspects of my training and extensive life experience to support your specific needs. Counselling offers you the opportunity to pause, reflect, offload, and work through a variety of issues in a warm and supportive environment. In essence, the counselling space facilitates a shared journey of exploration between counsellor and client, leading to self-awareness, choice, healing, and ultimately self-acceptance. It takes courage, but—as I’ve experienced in my own journey—it is probably one of the most beneficial and wonderful things you can do for yourself.

​

I have worked with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship breakdown, relationship difficulties, negative thought patterns, compulsive and addictive behaviours, existential angst, and childhood trauma, to name just a few.

​

As well as working with adults, I am employed as a school counsellor and enjoy working with young people. It is quite different from working with adults, and I value finding creative ways to support my clients.

​

I encourage self-care and try to practise mindfulness and meditation myself. Where possible, I advocate a holistic approach to mental health that embraces mind, body, and soul.

​

Please feel free to give me a call or drop me an email, and we can have a chat about what’s going on for you and whether I think I can help. In the meantime, I wish you well, and wherever you are, I hope you find what you’re looking for.
