I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) supporting adults and young people in the Winchester area and beyond.  As a registered member of the BACP, I am bound by and adhere to its Ethical Framework for Good Practice.

I work with adults and young people aged 18 and up and I offer in-person counselling from my studio in Winchester, as well as online sessions.

My areas of specialisation include anxiety, depression, low self-esteem,  trauma, bereavement, and relationship difficulties.  Alongside my private practice, I work for a specialist counselling support service for anyone who has experienced sexual abuse or sexual assault, resulting in trauma. 

I believe in a holistic approach to counselling, which involves addressing the underlying causes of emotional distress, as well as developing practical strategies for coping and healing. I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and gain insight into your experiences. 

Amongst the approaches I use is Transactional Analysis – a type of therapy which helps you understand yourself and other people better, whilst also providing practical tools to help you live a more fulfilling, enjoyable and happier life. It can help you understand how your past experiences may be impacting your present-day life so that you can develop  coping strategies and begin to move forward. I also draw upon other counselling techniques such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy, which can help you cope when you feel stressed, anxious or depressed.

Whether you require short-term support to address specific concerns or are seeking long-term therapy to delve deeper into underlying issues, I tailor my approach to suit you as an individual and meets your unique needs.  Above all, I’ll support you in developing your own solutions to your difficulties and help you get a better understanding of who you are and how you would like to live your life.
