how i work
I am an Integrative Counsellor, which means I combine Person-Centred, Cognitive, Existential, and Psychodynamic theories and tailor my approach to suit you and your needs.
I also work Relationally, which means I put the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work.
​
I work flexibly, whether you prefer to work on a fixed-term basis (6, 12 or 20 sessions, for example) or open-ended, I can accommodate for your individual needs.
​
I offer sessions online, on the phone, or in person in a lovely room in central Lincoln.
​
I work with adults (18+) and occasionally work with Young People (14+).
About Me
'Ride the wave' has been my mantra since my university days in Brighton. I would go and sit by the sea and find solace in the ever-changing waves while my mental health went through its own stormy tides. Graduating with a degree in Drama and Film, I then went on to become a Primary School Teacher. When Lockdown hit, I decided to jump in at the deep end and train as a counsellor - something I've wanted to do since my first experience of therapy at age 15.
My logo is based on the wave tattoo I got in 2019, which is a daily reminder of how far I have come, and how many storms I have weathered and survived.
