Hello! I’m a dedicated counsellor with a deep-rooted passion for supporting young people and adults through their mental health challenges. My journey into counselling was sparked by my own experiences navigating mental health struggles during my teenage years. I recognise the profound impact that having someone to talk to can have on one's well-being. This personal journey inspired me to pursue a career in counselling, allowing me to give back to others and help them find their path through difficult times. 

With over 8 years of experience working within a local mental health charity, I have had the privilege of supporting both adults and children in various capacities. My journey began with a placement that broadened my understanding of mental health, and I have since taken on diverse roles, including domestic abuse support and serving as a triage specialist on a gateway service. In this position, I was the first point of contact for adults struggling with their mental health for two years, during which I honed my skills in active listening and empathetic support.

Additionally, I have led a parent support group at another mental health charity, providing guidance and resources to parents of children and young people aged 11-25 facing mental health challenges. This experience highlighted the importance of collaboration between parents and counsellors, ensuring that young people receive the best possible support.
