About me

I have offered counselling to adults of a wide range of ages, backgrounds and sexual orientation. Whatever is going on for you, I can promise that I will listen to you with respect and kindness. 

I work with adults who are going through depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and many other sources of unhappiness. I enjoy working with people who are going through changes in their life, such as adjusting joining the adult world, becoming a parent, coping with divorce, and with older adults who are looking back on their lives.

I work with talking therapy, and offer Energy Psychotherapy, a gentle yet effective mind-body approach which is effective in releasing stress and other hurts from the nervous system. 

I work face-to-face in Harpenden and offer walk and talk therapy in the Harpenden area. I also work online with people throughout the UK and worldwide, where local regulations allow.

I have been unemployed, worked as a secretary, worked with languages in an international trade union organisation, practised as a solicitor in a London commercial law firm, and as a legal aid family solicitor in a small town.  I have raised a family, now adults.  I have had the experience of being an outsider while living abroad, and an unremarkable person in the UK.  I loved contact with people in all of these walks of life. 

 Difficult life experiences led me to counselling as a client, and the healing I found there inspired my wish to work as a counsellor.  I welcome the chance to learn and grow alongside my clients as they work towards reaching an improved sense of wellbeing through counselling.
