I’m a friendly and creative counsellor based in York. My journey began with training in the person-centred model, focusing on providing a safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore your feelings.
As a BACP-registered counsellor, I follow strict ethical guidelines to ensure my practice is safe, high quality and transparent for my clients. I love incorporating creative techniques into my therapy and seeing what this brings for clients, as it can help tap into the subconscious, allowing you to uncover and process thoughts and feelings that might not surface through conversation alone.
I've worked with a diverse range of people, helping them navigate life's ups and downs. My goal is to help you find your own answers and build a more resilient, fulfilling life. I welcome everyone, no matter your background or identity, and look forward to supporting you on your journey.
