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.

ABOUT ME

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.
