About Me
My Approach

Approaches: Person-centred, Humanistic, Mindfulness, Somatic, and Polyvagal Informed.

​

My core approach to counselling is person-centred and client-directed and underpinned by facilitating an empathic, authentic, and healing environment. 

​

I also offer a more guided approach with psychoeducation, somatic experiencing, meditation, and breathwork for clients who may benefit from emotional regulation for anxiety, stress, academic anxiety, depression, trauma, and neurodiversity.

​

I work collaboratively with clients to move forward in a way that benefits them the most as an individual.

 

I provide a safe and non-judgemental space in which to explore any issues that may emerge in the process.

I am a qualified Person-Centred counsellor and an Accredited Member of the BACP MBACP (Accred).

​

Polyvagal Theory also informs my work, along with breath work and somatic resourcing which can be helpful with dysregulation and trauma.

 

I worked for Wycombe Counselling Service/Bucks Mind for fourteen years. I also worked in the NHS as a nurse for over thirty years and have experience in providing counselling in an NHS setting.

 

I now have a private practice based in North Norfolk near Sheringham. I offer face-to-face counselling and also online counselling via zoom. 

 

Please email or message me for a free twenty-minute telephone or in-person consultation.

 

There is no disabled access but there is a bus service and parking.
