About me

I am a qualified integrative therapeutic counsellor and certified life coach.​ My work is shaped by many years of working closely with people in creative, educational and supportive roles. I value warmth, honesty and careful listening, and I aim to offer a space where you can feel heard, understood and able to speak freely.

​

My background in the arts, voice work and coaching has also shaped my interest in confidence, identity, self-expression and the pressure people can feel to appear as though they are coping, even when things feel very different underneath.

​

I also bring personal insight into living with Type 1 diabetes, including an understanding of the emotional and mental load that can come with managing a long-term health condition.
