I originally trained in the 1990s as a Hypno-psychotherapist and still retain much affection for that style of work. Like many other therapists I went on to train in a number of other approaches. Included amongst those are Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT), NLP Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and Reverse Therapy.

However, I strongly believe that what drives therapy forward is the relationship between me and my clients. For that reason I offer a warm, welcoming, accepting and encouraging focus to all those brave enough to come and see me.

My main point of departure is to look at the undiscovered needs, intentions and desires that lie underneath psychological problems. Uncovering those, and encouraging clients to find new ways to satisfy those needs, is - for me - an important factor in therapeutic change.

Until a few years ago I practiced in Tamworth. In 2023 I lost my husband of over twenty years and, eventually, took the decision to relocate. I now live in Whitley Bay and work in Newcastle town centre. However, most of my work these days is online.

I am passionate about martial arts (I find it grounds me) and I also take frequent short holidays in Northumbria, Scotland and Ireland as I find that being out in nature, especially in the wild, reconnects me to the soul.
