I graduated from Heartwood Counselling & Psychotherapy College in 2026 with an Advanced Diploma in Counselling. This integrative core training was grounded in person-centred and Gestalt theories, as well as mindfulness-based behavioural techniques, transactional analysis, and attachment theory. I undertake regular CPD (Continuing Professional Development) training to keep my knowledge current and to stay informed on issues and topics that impact my clients.

As part of my training, I volunteered for 14 months with Home-Start Westminster, working with parents of young children. Following that, I began a second placement with a long-established bereavement counselling charity, with whom I continue to volunteer, working with clients who are living with loss, bereavement, and complex grief. Across both positions I have worked with a culturally and socially diverse client group.

I trained as a counsellor after having experienced my own struggles with mental health, and made my own therapeutic journey. I am a great believer in the idea that the right kind of talk therapy, with the right person and at the right time, can be beneficial for almost everyone.

Outside of my training and experience as a counsellor, I have worked across many sectors including hospitality, retail, administrative and access support, and various work in creative industries. My positions have been varied but linked with a common thread of service, creativity, and care.
