I’m a BACP accredited counsellor with a wealth of experience, predominantly in the public sector. I have worked with clients presenting with issues involving depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties and employment complications to name a few. I have experience of working with refugees and victims of modern slavery, occasionally with the use of an interpreter. In the past 6 years, I have specialised in working with survivors of sexual violence and feel this is where my expertise lies. I have undertaken a lot of training and engage in ongoing CPD (continuous professional development) to remain abreast of contemporary issues, including specialist learning to facilitate working with male survivors of abuse.

Outside of the therapy room, I am a practicing Zen Buddhist with 20+ years of meditation experience. This helps me facilitate a calm and relaxing safe environment as I attentively work alongside you, helping you to explore your issues. I have a firm conviction, through experience, that when someone feels understood by a non-judgemental other, on a deep emotional level, therapeutic change is achievable.
At present, due to my continued work in the public sector, I can offer sessions on Friday mornings only. These can be face-to-face at Durham Therapy Centre, or via video link or phone. Please get in touch for a no-obligation, informal chat regarding your needs.
