About Me
My background was in the press industry, but after many years working in London, I wanted to explore something with more depth, and so began my four years training to be a counsellor. Aside from my private practice, I also work for Surrey University counselling students in well-being settings. Additionally, I spent two years as a bereavement counsellor within palliative care at Phyllis Tuckwell Hopsice Care in Farnham, providing psychological support to carers and families through treatment, terminal illness and bereavement.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapists (BACP), and am guided by and adhere to their ethical framework in my practice. I also hold appropriate insurance and udergo regular clinical supervision.
