About me

I have 10+ years of experience of working in mental health. My main focus when starting out supporting someone new is to allow time, space, safety and comfort to get to know each other. People that I have supported previously have described me as "very human" in my approach - I am down to earth, straight talking (I try to avoid technical/medical jargon where it may not be helpful) but I also enjoy being creative in my approach - finding new ways to support others. My sessions can be as formal/informal as you need and I really enjoy building new therapeutic relationships to support people to achieve their goals - to be who they want to be.
