After many years teaching in the adult education sector, I decided to take my career in a different direction as I found I enjoyed the pastoral side of teaching. I therefore undertook a Master's in psychology, then trained to become a psychotheraputic counsellor. I work in a pluralistic way: incorporating elements of CBT, psychodynamic and person-centred to better help fulfill the clients' individual needs.

​

Working with individuals whose first language isn't English is a passion of mine. My ESOL qualifications experience means I can communicate well with those whose English is not fluent. 

​

I have experienced working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse from my time on placement at a domestic abuse charity. I also have experience of working with clients who have undergone a relationship breakdown. Furthermore, I have counselled clients who are working through issues in their childhood and with presenting issues such as grief, anxiety, depression and work related stress. I have also completed CPD on inner child work. 

​

I am passionate about helping those who reside in the Newcastle area to work through their issues in a safe and calm environment. Being inclusive and non-judgmental is at my core and I am able to listen to and support clients to work through their issues.

If you would like to work with me, please do not hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to joining you on your counselling journey.
