I am a fully qualified and registered Integrative counsellor offering individual therapy to young people from ages 11 to 25.

With a background in youth work and teaching, I have had the privilege of working with young people for over thirty five years, in a range of settings from inner city Manchester to rural Devon. I have been a teacher in both primary and secondary schools, a one to one mentor with neurodivergent young people in Exeter and a voluntary counsellor to students at University Centre South Devon.

I remain passionate about supporting and championing young people and I am currently loving my role as a School Counsellor in a large, dynamic secondary school in Plymouth.

I believe that coming to see a counsellor gives young people a safe and confidential space to explore the things in their lives that feel overwhelming, frightening or confusing. A place of acceptance where they can talk about their feelings, thoughts, and worries.

Sometimes just saying a thought out loud brings a huge sense of relief.

I am a Person-Centred counsellor, this means that I work with you. My therapy sessions are client led. I work in a gentle, down to earth and non-judgemental way. Together we can explore and find strategies to cope and become more resilient when life feels difficult. I can encourage you to feel empowered and confident in the face of stressful obstacles and nurture a lasting sense of hope and self-belief.

My approach is Trauma-Informed which means that I understand the way in which the body and mind reacts, adapts and changes in response to developmental trauma and other traumatic events. I may also use creative and somatic interventions. The sessions are always tailored to meet the unique and individual needs of each young person

I will listen and give you the space to grow, to learn about who you are and who you want to be, so you can flourish and thrive.
