Meet your Counsellor

Meet your counsellor

My path to becoming a person-centred counsellor has been guided by a deep belief in the healing power of being truly heard, accepted, and understood.

Over the past five years, I’ve dedicated myself to studying the person-centred approach—a therapeutic modality that places the individual at the heart of the work, trusting in your natural ability to grow and heal when given the right conditions. Alongside my core training, I completed additional courses that allow me to work safely and ethically with children and young people, particularly those who have faced significant challenges such as grief, trauma, and disruption in their lives.

Over the past year and a half, I have been privileged to work with clients through an agency setting who are navigating the long-term impact of historical sexual abuse. This experience has deepened my understanding of trauma and the courage it takes to explore painful past experiences within the safety of the therapeutic relationship. I also currently support clients processing grief—whether from natural causes or following long-term illness—each journey unique and deserving of gentle, compassionate presence.

My ongoing commitment to professional development includes advanced training in working with trauma, sexual abuse, and grief, allowing me to offer specialised, sensitive support that honours each person’s individual pace and process.

I am also qualified to provide counselling online and by telephone, ensuring flexibility while maintaining the same standard of ethical, person-centred care. I hold an enhanced DBS check, full professional insurance, and I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working within their ethical framework.

Why the humming bird?

Firstly why I chose a hummingbird - The hummingbird is a powerful symbol of healing, resilience, and hope—qualities that beautifully reflect the journey of personal growth through counselling.

Despite its small size, the hummingbird is incredibly strong, adaptable, and persistent. It can travel great distances, navigate storms, and hover with grace and precision—all while seeking out the sweetness in life. In many cultures, the hummingbird represents joy, renewal, and the ability to move forward with lightness and courage, even after difficult times.

In person-centred counselling, the focus is on your inner strength and capacity to heal. Like the hummingbird, you have the ability to face challenges, adapt, and find meaning and connection in your own time and way. Choosing this symbol felt like a natural expression of the therapeutic space I offer—one that honours your unique journey, encourages resilience, and supports healing through gentle, compassionate understanding.
