I'm an integrative, trauma-informed counsellor and supervisor based in County Durham. I work 1-1 with adults in person and remotely. I have a relational and collaborative approach. I work predominantly with domestic violence and sexual abuse. I am also a qualified Breathwork Facilitator and Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner and have a particular interest in somatic, creative and spiritual resources. I am currently studying towards a MA in Psychotherapy Studies. I am an LGBTQ+ allied therapist and my practice is neurodiversity affirming.

I also work in the voluntary sector, counselling individuals who have been subjected to domestic abuse and sexual violence. I have worked in this area for almost twenty years and am passionate about his work. I have undertaken additional training in somatic trauma therapy, mindfulness, compassion focused approaches and creative counselling techniques.
I offer a free, no obligation initial session via telephone, which gives us a chance to chat about what brings you to counselling allows us to get to know each other a little to see if we feel we are a good match to work together.
