I believe therapy provides a safe, confidential space to explore challenges, gain new perspectives, and create positive change. It can help improve how people feel about themselves, their relationships, and support healthier patterns for the future.

I’m a UKCP accredited Child Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with over five years’ experience, and have completed integrative psychotherapy training with adults at TACT (Therapy & Counselling Teesside), with 500+ hours of adult client work. I’ve also completed DDP Level 1 and 2 training and am developing my use of DDP principles in practice.

My background includes a degree in Sports Coaching and Sports Psychology, reflecting my passion for sport and belief in the connection between physical and mental wellbeing. I have over 10 years’ experience working with children and young people — first as a sports coach and primary school teacher, before moving into therapy.

I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, abuse, loss, self-harm, depression, domestic violence, and relational difficulties. I use a relational, integrative approach and believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful growth.
