I’m an imperfect human with an eclectic work background in sound production. I’ve raised two children, have learnt from my many mistakes and continue to do so. In 2019, I embarked upon my counselling journey; it was a rough ride which often broke me. I eventually qualified as a counsellor and psychotherapist, and set up my private practice working within the Integrative Humanist approach, using Person Centred, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt modalities and awareness of psychosomatic processes. My broad base of theoretical understanding and experience allows me to work reflectively, adapting my style to suit the unique characteristics of my clients (working with human difference and diversity), whilst employing an accepting, warm, unprejudiced and empathetic approach.

Prior to qualifying, I spent over 25 years working in the music industry and possess a first-hand understanding of the distinctive demands and impact of touring. I hold a passion for advocating enhanced mental health in all walks of life and in particular, the music industries. I also undertake work with musicians, managers, support artists, and music industry crew, at all stages of their careers. Psychotherapy permits all clients to take away fundamental lifelong tools which assists them to navigate their life journey. My mission is to assist clients in living a fulfilling life by revealing their potential, playful imagination and eliminating constraints to transformation.

An important part of my commitment to clients is to ensure I remain up-to-date with learning new skills and techniques. I achieve this by attaining Continuing Professional Development (CPDs) on a yearly basis.
