My background

I’m an experienced and qualified BACP registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. Central to my approach is a commitment to understanding my individual clients, ensuring that you feel heard, understood, and supported.

In addition to my counselling practice, I’m a professional musician with a decade of firsthand experience navigating the various challenges and pressures associated in the field. My experience of the highs and lows, performing, creative processes, interactions with record companies, self-management, and touring, provide me with valuable insights into the specific issues faced by musicians and artists at all levels within the music industry.

I consider it a privilege to pursue a second career I’m passionate about in mental health, whilst I continue being a musician and supporting creatives in the music industry and beyond.

In my private practice I work with people from all backgrounds as well as individuals within the music sector. I am dedicated to upholding the ethical standards set by the BACP and strive to maintain high professional practices.

Working with me

As an integrative relational counsellor, I work in a collaborative and supportive way to enable you to work through the issues that led you to seek therapy. Throughout this process, you are likely to gain a deeper insight into yourself, which can strengthen resilience and form a more defined sense of self. I specialise in combining various therapeutic approaches to address your specific needs.

The fundamental therapies I use are: Psychodynamic which delves into our relationship histories and their effects on our emotional coping strategies and the relationship with ourselves and others. Person-centred, which emphasises the true potential for emotional growth within us and what is happening for us in the here and now.

I offer short and long-term, open-ended, 50-minute weekly sessions, currently exclusively online via zoom. I hope that our work together will enable you to begin to heal and grow. I am dedicated to guiding and supporting you until you feel ready to move on.

Qualifications

My qualifications include a PGDip in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling plus CPD in topics such as attachment therapy, existential therapy, CBT, EUPD , suicide, gender and sexuality and diversity awareness.
