Get to Know Me
I have been dedicated to my own personal and professional development since 2003.
This has entailed receiving various therapeutic counselling interventions/approaches, as well as alternative and complementary therapies along side.
My commitment to my own well-being, learning, training is on-going.
I believe this is an essential element in counselling others.
​
I am passionate about intentionally living in the here and now as much as possible in a mindfulness way.
​
My Experience
I have been counselling others and working in the addiction field since 2004, working at ACAD (Advice & Counselling for Alcohol & Drugs, Project Officer at ARA (Addiction Recovery Agency) face to face, online, and telephone counselling. BDP (Bristol Drugs Project) Structured day program practitioner and since I have been working at DHI (Developing Health & Independents), as a Recovery Worker.
Throughout this time also facilitating groups.
I started my Private Practice along side in April 2019, which soon became full-time.
​
Interests:
Dancing, singing, yoga, Tai chi, Chi Kung, meditation, Films, and reading.
I love seaside and country walks, animals, and love the water.
​
I remember how daunting choosing to engage with something like counselling can be when new to it (completely normal), and understand the need to take time to think and do a bit of research. Possibly see a few therapists before deciding what type of therapist and approach that feels right for you at this time in your life.

I would be privileged to be the one to walk along side you on this self-exploration expedition.
