I am a person-centred counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor based in Sheffield.

I work with young people (16+) and adults in private practice. Before this, I spent several years working as a children and young people’s counsellor within the charity sector, and over a decade in NHS Adult Mental Health Crisis Services.

At the heart of my work is a deep trust in the value of the therapeutic relationship. I am interested in how people come to understand themselves within the context of their lived experience, and in the ways discrimination, marginalisation and trauma can shape identity, self-perception, and a person’s sense of belonging.

My perspective is also quietly shaped by my own lived experience of being born with a cleft lip and palate. This has informed my sensitivity to visibility, difference, and the complex emotional experience of being seen, mis-seen, or not seen at all.

Alongside private practice, I have contributed chapters to person-centred psychotherapy texts and written within the diversity field. I have also taught person-centred psychology to trainee therapists for almost a decade, an experience that has continually shaped and enriched my understanding, and deepened my respect for the complexity, subtlety and transformative potential of therapeutic encounter.

I am an Accredited Registrant Member of the NCPS and previously served as Chair of the Person-Centred Association in England and Wales.
