It's lovely to meet you.
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 therapist after having experienced my own struggles with mental health, and made my own therapeutic journey. I believe that the right kind of therapy, with the right person, and at the right time, can be beneficial for almost anyone. Whilst my lived experience doesn't make me an expert in yours, I do have an understanding of some of the issues that can come up for those who live 'non-standard' lives, whether that's around queer relationships, gender diversity, neurodivergence, or working class experiences.
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.
