About Me
Qualified Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist & Mindfulness Teacher | Anxiety & ADHD Specialist
Empowering Adults, Children and Young People to Find Calm and Confidence
Are you looking for a professional way to manage anxiety, stress, cope with life transitions or navigate the unique challenges of neurodivergence? I am a professionally qualified Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Mindfulness Teacher with over 11 years of experience helping clients make lasting, positive changes. I work with both neurotypical and neurodivergent clients aged 11 years and over.
By drawing on a powerful, integrative range of therapeutic techniques including counselling, hypnosis, and mindfulness I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space tailored specifically to your individual needs. Whether you are looking for ADHD or Autism support or a way to break free from the cycle of chronic stress and anxiety, my integrated approach is designed to help you regain control.
A Background Rooted in Care and Education
Before transitioning into clinical therapy, I spent over 25 years in the "people professions," primarily as a Further Education (FE) Lecturer specializing in SEN (Special Educational Needs) and Health & Social Care. This deep background in education allows me to connect effectively with young people and neurodivergent clients (ADHD/Autism).
My practice is further enriched by my qualifications in:
Professional Standards & Ethics
Your safety and well-being are my priorities. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy MBACP (Membership Number: 01053018) and the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH).
I stay at the forefront of neuroscience and research through regular CPD, clinical supervision and advanced studies in psychotherapy. I also work within the community as a counsellor for the NHS. Formerly, I was a volunteer with Full Circle Counselling within Bournemouth YMCA, supporting vulnerable people in the local area.
