"The more the therapist is herself in the relationship, putting up no professional front or personal facade,the greater is the likelihood that the client will change and grow in a constructive manner."

I am now in my 40's and life has had many highs, crashing lows and everything in-between. First and foremost, I am a mum to two teenage boys, from whom everyday, I learn something new about this crazy thing called life. I love the great outdoors, especially woodlands, horses, being in my garden, quiet nights in and have always been fascinated with Counselling, Mental Health and Psychology.

For me, my journey towards diagnosis began with counselling. I threw myself wholeheartedy into my sessions, as I wanted to understand me; I slowly began to discover and understand who I really was. My counsellor was consistently there - my fearless companion - with empathy, understanding and an infectious warmth (huge thanks!). The more I came to know and understand myself, the more I read, and the more I read, the more certain I was, that I was Autistic/ADHD. 

I'm incredibly proud to now be able to say I'm a fully qualified and insured Person-Centred Counsellor, achieving a First-Class (Hons) Degree in Person-Centred Counselling. I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), attending monthly supervision and personal counselling, so I am the very best I can be, for myself and my clients. I'm also thoroughly committed to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and I feel very fortunate to be able to say I love my job and I love what I do! 

I also have a full, clean, enhanced DBS check and alongside my private practice, I have many years counselling experience working in a local High School, offered counselling through an Employee Assistance Program and have been a guest speaker at the University of Lincoln on Neurodiversity and Counselling.
