About Me
I’m an Integrative Person-Centred Counsellor based in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Within 15 miles of Romsey, Amesbury, Fordingbridge and Stockbridge.
My Salisbury location is based in the centre of Salisbury, with plenty of transport links & parking nearby.
I also offer sessions online.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). This means I am bound by & adhere to the BACP’s ethical framework and values.
Having experienced my own personal difficulties in childhood & adolescence, I set out on my own healing journey; one that would change my life forever, though I never believed it would lead me to train as a counsellor. In the beginning, it was difficult for me to let someone in, but as I did I was able to grow & develop in ways I never could have imagined. The work was equal parts challenging and rewarding, discovering that I wasn’t broken, a lost cause, hopeless, or clinically insane, allowed me to sit with what I needed most: someone to listen to me, support me & challenge me.
In my role today I find it an honour to be able to support people to grow & develop, whilst still continuing to grow myself. My counselling approach builds on the whole of me as a person, to include my own personal background, experiences & beliefs, as well as my professional training & experience. I don’t work to diagnose, dispense pills, or work overnight miracles; my work centres on collaboration, within a supportive environment, where you are guided to develop & blossom into the person you are truly capable of being.
Level 4 CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling

Level 2 CPCAB Counselling skills Certificate
Registered member of the BACP
I regularly undertake certificates & training in continuing professional development to ensure my work remains up to date and meets the industry standard.
The core of my experience comes from a background of working with trauma. Specifically survivors of rape & sexual abuse. I do not work exclusively with trauma, however I do feel my trauma-informed & experienced approach provides great benefit to all of my work.
