I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with over twenty five years experience in health care, initially as a Registered Nurse and then as a Counsellor.  

My journey began in the NHS, before moving into the Higher Education sector, where I led a Health & Wellbeing Service in a University of Cambridge college for many years. During that time, I worked extensively in mental health and wellbeing, gaining valuable expertise and training in crisis work and mental health at all levels. As such I naturally evolved into counselling, undertaking my training and working as a Counsellor with students, before establishing my private practice.  

I'm a warm, empathetic, and compassionate therapist who enjoys working collaboratively with individuals, supporting you to work through the challenges which bring you to counselling.  
 
Working integratively, I mainly draw on the Psychodynamic, Humanistic and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) models of therapy. This approach supports you to gain greater self awareness, understanding and insight, alongside learning coping strategies to help you self soothe. 

I have experience working with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, personality disorders, low mood, bereavement, relationship difficulties, work and study stress, health concerns, and matters related to sexuality and identity. 
 

My background within healthcare continues to inform and enrich my counselling practice, providing a holistic understanding of physical and emotional wellbeing.
 

Clinical Supervision

Alongside my counselling practice, I currently work as a Clinical Supervisor supporting nurses within the NHS and also offer clinical supervision and reflective practice for other health professionals.

​

I have extensive experience supporting people within healthcare and higher education and have also worked in quality improvement and organisational change through previous work with the Department of Health. These experiences have given me a deeper understanding of the pressures, challenges and emotional demands that can arise within caring and professional roles.

​

Appointments and Counselling Fees

I offer appointments to adults either in person in my consulting room in Central Cambridge (CB2) or online via video consultation.

 

Counselling fees are £75 per 50 minute session.  

​

Information about clinical supervision sessions can be found on the Clinical Supervision page.
