I am a qualified integrative counsellor, living in and working from the beautiful North Devon countryside.  With an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a degree in psychology, my work is underpinned by a number of approaches and tailored to suit your specific needs.

​

I have a love of the outdoors, finding nature itself very therapeutic.  I enjoy coastal and country walks as well as being in or on the water.  When opportunity allows, I also love skiing.   The simple pleasure of curling up with a good book is another source of enjoyment for me.

​

Prior to training as a counsellor, I have worked in a variety of roles and settings over the years.  These include education, research, community work and running my own small business.  The nature of these roles often meant I heard people's stories.  This is something I always found to be a privilege - when others felt they could openly share with me.  Not only the good but also the challenges they were experiencing in life.

​

​My work as a counsellor has been within a GP practice, a domestic abuse charity and continues within a hospice setting alongside my own private practice.  ​

​

I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I work within their Ethical Framework.​
