I’m a Psychotherapist, Counsellor and group facilitator, based in Reading, Berkshire. I work with clients face-to-face and online, in short- or longer-term work.

I completed my training at the Gestalt Centre in London, earning a Postgraduate Diploma and a Master’s in Gestalt Therapy Theory. As an accredited member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), I strictly follow their ethical code. My work is supported by ongoing supervision, which ensures both my professional growth and the highest standards of care for my clients.

Before training as a psychotherapist, I had a long career in the National Health Service, working at senior level in governance and management. I have also worked in the fitness industry and as a librarian. I have a wide range of life experience to call upon.

Whilst I’m qualified in Gestalt, I work broadly with relevant parts of other therapeutic approaches, focusing on the importance of the therapeutic relationship.

I gained my initial experience working within a University Wellbeing Service and a local counselling charity. I’ve worked with anxiety, depression and low-mood, grief and loss, suicidal thoughts, sexual assault, identity issues, relational difficulties, and have a special interest in shame and life-transitions.

I’m here to help you to get to know yourself, how you make sense of your world, how different situations affect you, and how you make choices in your life. In understanding and accepting yourself it’s my belief you can make choices that support you to lead a satisfying, fulfilling life.
