 ​

Welcome. I'm glad you're here.

​

I’m a qualified trauma therapist with over a decade of experience supporting people through life’s most difficult challenges. Since qualifying in 2012, I’ve continued to build on my knowledge through professional development, working with both charities and private clients to deepen my understanding and broaden my reach.

​

I specialise in trauma, PTSD, and suicide awareness, and my approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and respect. Therapy with me is a warm, interactive process. I tailor each session to your unique needs, drawing on a blend of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), humanistic, and psychodynamic approaches to support your journey.

​

It takes courage to seek support. If you're ready to take the first step toward a more fulfilling, balanced life, I’m here to walk beside you.

​

Who I Work With

While I have developed a strong reputation for working with First Responders and Veterans in both the UK and US, you don’t have to be either to work with me. I welcome anyone who feels ready to begin therapy.

​

I’m known for creating a safe, non-judgmental space where people feel genuinely heard. Clients often tell me they feel at ease quickly—this makes all the difference when talking about painful experiences and exploring the changes they want to make.

​

Specialist Experience

Over the years, I’ve had the honour of working with a range of organisations including:

• The RNLI

• The Metropolitan Police (Specialist Firearms Operations SCO19)

• The National Crime Agency (NCA)

• South Yorkshire Police

• Merseyside Police (as a counsellor during the 2021 pandemic)

• Officers from North Wales, Cheshire Constabulary, and Parliamentary & Diplomatic Protection​

​

​

I’ve developed and delivered accredited CPD training courses in PTSD and suicide awareness, and I’m a keynote speaker on these topics across national agencies and institutions.

​

Since 2020, I’ve served as Clinical Lead for Phoenix Heroes CIC, counselling Veterans living with PTSD.

​

How I Work

I offer sessions in person, via video, or over the phone—whatever feels most comfortable for you.
