About Me
I am a qualified and registered integrative therapist and BACP member offering counselling and psychotherapy services throughout Wokingham, Bracknell, and surrounding Berkshire areas. I specialise in working with adults and adolescents using CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and integrative approaches to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
My journey into therapy began long before I formally trained – it grew from twelve years of working in children’s residential homes, where I realised the impact of fully attending to and listening to someone and creating a safe space for them to be heard.
My Experience
During my time in residential care, I held various roles including residential worker, therapeutic practitioner, group worker, supervisor, and deputy manager of the therapy team. Working with young people who had experienced significant trauma taught me about resilience, the importance of genuine human connection, and how transformative it can be when someone feels truly understood.
This experience led me to pursue formal training in counselling, qualifying as an integrative counsellor in 2017. I have continued developing my practice ever since, and in 2021, I qualified as a clinical supervisor, helping other therapists develop and refine their skills. I have had the privilege of supervising a diverse range of professionals, from trainee therapists to experienced practitioners, including Play Therapists, Family and Systemic Therapists, and Clinical Psychology trainees.

A Bit About Me
When I am not working, you will probably find me walking my cream Golden Retriever twice a day around Bracknell. I also have a ginger cat. I enjoy reading fiction and non-fiction equally, though I have to admit I listen to far too many podcasts – despite knowing the importance of silence and giving our minds a break from being constantly ‘switched on’!
I have a love for stand-up comedy and find real joy in the silliness and ridiculousness of it all. There is something wonderful about finding humour and lightness, which I think translates into my therapeutic work – sometimes we need to find the lighter moments alongside the deeper ones.
Having lived in various places across the South of England – from Yateley and Camberley to Portsmouth during my university years – I have now settled in Bracknell and feel really connected to this community and the surrounding areas.
