My interest in helping people began in 2003 with supporting young offenders away from repeat offending through the Youth Justice Board.

I studied addictions in 2006 and qualified with a Cert (H.E) from Staffordshire University in 2008 and have worked long term in this field. This continues to be my passion and I specialise in substance use and misuse, over the counter medication misuse, alcohol, smoking cessation and gambling.  

I also work with families, carers and loved ones of those in active addiction. Shame plays a substantial role in whether we can approach someone for support around this. Hiding our pain, grief and bewilderment is a barrier and my role is to facilitate an acceptance of what is happening in order to be able to change how we respond to it.  

I have worked within the NHS and organisations providing sexual abuse and rape crisis support. I worked within mental health delivering groups programmes in managing anxiety and depression. 

Qualifying from Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute in collaboration with Staffordshire University with a BSc (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy in 2023. The course is accredited by the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ and I adhere to the ethical framework set out by them.

I work within a integrated model of therapy. I work to tailor to your needs and help identify and achieve your goals. Sometimes its enough to have someone listen without judgement or criticism.  

I offer face to face appointments in a building suitable for wheelchair access and accessibility needs. 

I can offer online or telephone appointments if getting to my office space is difficult. 

There is free parking available onsite with one disabled parking space. 

I offer a free 30 minute telephone or online initial brief session to discuss your requirements. 

Subsequent sessions will usually be one hour however this can be negotiated within the first session. 

Confidentiality and contracting will be agreed during the first paid session. 

Payment at the appointment via cash or bank transfer.  

During this session we will define what brought you to seek out a therapist. 

We will establish how long you may wish to work with me and negotiate our terms including confidentiality and how often we will meet.
