In the past, I have worked as a kitchen porter, surveyor’s assistant, bookseller, teacher and mentor, but working as a counsellor and therapist has been my only true vocation.

Since I was young, I have been fascinated by psychology and philosophy, always in search of an answer to the question at the heart of what it means to be human: given our circumstances, how does one lead a fulfilling and meaningful life?

My search for my own particular set of answers has led me down many avenues. Alongside being a qualified integrative counsellor, I hold a degree in English and Film and a Master’s in Psychology. I have worked as a Bereavement Volunteer for Cruse and as a Home-Group Tutor for Trauma Informed Schools UK. Most recently, I completed Foundation training in supporting the terminally ill as a Death Doula, as well as a Level 6 Diploma in Transpersonal Psychology with the BTA.

Professionally, I am a member of both the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the British Psychological Society (BPS). As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Person-Centred Therapy, Existential therapy, ACT, IFS, psychodynamics, trauma-informed techniques and transpersonal psychology.

I am particularly interested in existential approaches and frequently work with clients around issues of death, meaning, identity and facing the inevitable changes that life brings. I am a member of both the Existential Movement and the Existential Dialogues international reading group.

Alongside my counselling work, I am also Mental Health Lead for a large online academy, working with young people from all over the world. I take a neuroaffirming approach to my work and consider myself an ally to the LGBTQ+ community.

Whilst I work in private practice, I am proud to be part of the team at Castle Row Counselling in Canterbury. For more information, click here.
