Experience

I am a Humanistic and Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist (MBACP) with a First-Class BSc (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Staffordshire University. 

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade working as an Executive Assistant in corporate environments, supporting senior leaders in cross-cultural settings. This background gives me a deep understanding of the demands, pressures, and complexities of life and informs my grounded, discreet, and attuned therapeutic presence.

I am deeply committed to relational healing, personal growth and supporting my clients to navigate change with clarity and authenticity. I am also a Mental Health First Aider, committed to fostering emotional wellbeing and resilience in both personal and professional settings.
