About my practice
I work by creating a therapeutic relationship with you. Within this relationship, we address whatever difficulties you are experiencing. I am skilled at providing a reassuring presence within which you can feel safe, heard and understood.
I am curious about people and their relationships and have been told throughout my life that I have a warm, calming and non-judgmental presence which invites confidence and intimacy from others.
I believe that many of the difficulties we encounter in life are related to problems in our interpersonal relationships, whether at home, in the family, with a partner, or at work. Sometimes, it's our relationship with ourselves which becomes difficult. My training in the relational approach to counselling and psychotherapy means that I am well placed to support my clients to explore these issues.
My work is integrative, drawing mainly from person centred therapy, but I also use elements of CBT and Transactional Analysis. I have supported people with a variety of different issues, including anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, relationship problems, issues around neurodiversity, alcohol and substance abuse, difficulties with work, self esteem, identity, the search for meaning.
I am a qualified, experienced psychotherapist/counsellor. I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy (Distinction) from Leeds Beckett University. I also have a BA Honours degree in Philosophy. My experience includes work for Leeds Mind, Leeds City College, Community Links and Barca Leeds.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I abide by the BACP Ethical Framework and receive monthly clinical supervision.
About me
I live in Leeds with my partner and our cat.
After a career working in various different roles, I made a changed direction in my 40’s and started training as a therapist; something I had wanted to do for a long time. I qualified with a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy.
Working as a therapist feels like a natural role for me. I bring a calm and reassuring presence, my clients tell me that I have a warm and caring nature which invites confidence and security. I am curious about people and I find that helping clients unravel difficulties and make changes is very rewarding.
When I am not working I enjoy cooking, walking, music, books and films.
Vermouth is the typical accompaniment to tapas and we invite you to sample our extensive and surprising list.
In addition, we offer craft beer, Spanish and American wines, a full bar and a variety of delightful non-alcoholic options.
