I began my working life as a teacher in secondary education. I love working with young people and found the pastoral and mentoring part of the job the most enjoyable. I began my counselling training to enhance my teaching skills and my passion for phycology grew as a result. I made the leap to counselling in 2012 after I qualified working with both young people and adult clients. Initially I worked in schools and for a bereavement charity before forming my own private practice ‘Kite Counselling’ in 2015. The name ‘Kite’ symbolises to me the freedom clients are often seeking from their past, present or future worries and the desire to live a more happier and fulfilled life.

As a life long Nature lover and Scout leader it felt like a natural progression to take my therapy practice outdoors. I trained with Hayley Marshall and love how Nature therapy works as an aid to the therapeutic process.

As an integrative counsellor I am experienced in using a multitude of different counselling modalities. This means that I have an expansive toolbox of counselling methods that I can use in our sessions. Which methods I use is dependant on my individual client’s needs and what they are experiencing in the moment.

I am a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy and adhere to the Ethical Framework for good practice, which covers the values, principles and moral qualities required of all professional counsellors.

It is a requirement for all counsellors to engage in Continuous Professional Development (CPD), which ensures my counselling practice is kept fully up to date and informed by the latest research.

To further safeguard clients, I attend a monthly meeting with a qualified counselling supervisor, in accordance with BACP requirements.
