Welcome to my page….Based within the beautiful grounds of Nostell Priory, I offer face to face Counselling for both adults and children, as well as outdoor therapy. Remote Counselling via telephone or Zoom is also available.

My journey into Counselling started when I worked in a primary school as a Teaching Assistant. I was asked to offer Draw and Talk therapy to a pupil and I loved how such a simple intervention opened communication and provided an explanation of feelings for the child.

​

I decided to train as a Counsellor and within this, began a placement working with adults who have been affected by drug and alcohol misuse. Alongside my training, I then moved into Secondary Education where I quickly became the Mental Health Coordinator of a large High School in Wakefield. I loved this role and I learnt so much from the amazing children I worked with! Eventually I decided to set up my own private practice where I could support both adults and children.

I am an integrative therapist which means I do not believe there is one approach that suits everybody in the therapy room. It means I am flexible and happy to adapt our sessions depending on what you need as an individual.

​

I have a Higher Education Certificate and Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I studied on a relational, BACP accredited course at Leeds Beckett University. Alongside this, I am a qualified Nurture Practitioner and have recently completed advanced Designated Safeguarding Lead training. I am a member of the BACP.
