My passion for mental health and genuine desire to help others, are factors that influenced my decision to train to become an accredited CBT therapist.
I started my career in the charity sector, working in housing and homelessness services. Following this I trained as a mental health social worker, gaining valuable experience working in mental health teams within a local authority and NHS setting. Within each of my roles I supported people with a range of mental health issues. Whilst social work was a rewarding profession, I often felt that I wanted to work with people in a more therapeutic and psychological way.
Retraining in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy felt like an intuitive step to take. I was inspired at the prospect of providing clients with a compassionate, non-judgemental space to explore their difficulties whilst equipping them with tools to make beneficial and lasting changes in their lives.
Liverpool Counsellor: I’ve been working in Mental Health Care since 2008, treating people with a variety of mental health issues. I am deeply committed to assisting people during their most vulnerable times, assisting them in overcoming their difficulties, and using evidence-based treatments to foster resilience. I believe that by providing individuals with a safe and non-judgmental environment, they can explore and develop new ways of managing their symptoms while working towards a higher quality of life.

I am a Positive Psychologist and Well-Being Coach specializing in Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Character Strengths Coaching, with a three-decade career in education working with student and teacher well-being. As an Artist’s Way facilitator, I lead local and global workshops on Zoom and in person to teach people how to use their creativity to thrive. I am a regular contributor to the website Soberistas, where my writing and podcast interviews cover topics like positive habit change and grey area drinking. In workshops and one-on-one sessions, I am passionate about assisting people in using Positive Psychology Interventions (PPIs) to not only survive, but thrive. I believe that we all have the ability and the right to flourish if we are given the right psychological tools, an individualized program, and a safe and open environment in which to do so.
