"I passionately believe in the importance of mental health support and have genuine acceptance and empathy for people who find themselves in difficult situations. I work hard to remove the stigma attached to mental health issues. I dream of a world where seeking help from a therapist is viewed in the same way as going to see your GP for a cold or sore throat; it's just something people do. I gained experience of working in a number of different settings before training as a therapist, which has helped me develop a clear understanding of how challenging life can sometimes be and how valuable the right kind of help can be. I pride myself on creating a safe and non-judgemental space for my clients to explore their issues and achieve their goals. I am also an adoptive parent which has given me a real insight into the impact of trauma and how we can reconnect and rebuild our lives."
