For sixteen years I have been working with children from 0-11 years guiding, helping and supporting them to achieve their goals and reach their full potential. Whether as a Childminder, Early Years Practitioner in a Pre-school, Higher Level Teaching Assistant and as an art teacher in a junior school.  I was part of a Well-being Champion team, and I am a trained Mental Health First-aider for school staff, listening, and supporting them in a confidential, safe environment.

​

I have experience counselling for a mental health charity working with 18-25 year olds listening, guiding and supporting them with self-reflection, self-awareness as they worked through their depression, worries, stress, anxiety.  Whilst recognising and assessing their triggers, connecting with their past challenges and then finding positive solutions, enabling them to overcome their difficulties.  Where they felt safe, empowered and hopeful.

​

In 2020, I decided to widen my skills and knowledge to work with adults, hence I studied and trained as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor.  Where I work pluralistically, using various therapeutic approaches, including Person-centred, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural therapies. Enabling clients to find healthier solutions as they begin making connections with their past and present, self-reflect upon their challenges, allowing them to identify their behaviours, feelings, thoughts and emotions, helping them begin their healing process encouraging them to feel hope, empowered, thrive towards setting healthier positive goals and reach their full potential.
