About Me

I was born and have lived the majority of my life in the South West of England. I come from a farming family, I love being outdoors and enjoy walking with my dog on the moors or on our beautiful coastline. Before I became a counsellor, I worked therapeutically with children and families in education for many years. I now concentrate on one-to-one working with people of all ages, and I am dedicated to confidentiality, professionalism and ethical practice. 

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) (Register number: 407353). I adhere to their Ethical Framework, which upholds and ensures ethical working practices at all times, and puts the wellbeing of the client at the heart of all work.
