I’m a counsellor and coach based in Marsden, West Yorkshire. I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I’m an integrative practitioner, which means that after establishing a good working relationship with you, we’ll collaborate to find the best approaches to support the changes that you would like to make, at a pace that suits you.
Reaching out to a counsellor can feel like a big step; especially if it's new for you. You might have a clear idea of what you would like to work on, or you might be unsure; you might just know that something needs to change and you want some help to figure out what that is. Let's just have a chat and then you can decide if you would like for us to work together. We can meet online or in my counselling room here in Marsden.
My experience includes years spent volunteering and counselling in suicide respite and bereavement settings. I have an extensive professional background in the funded arts sector. For 14 years I worked at senior leadership level in two national music organisations where I specialised in creating and leading professional development programmes for artists and composers.

I trained in coaching with Relational Dynamics 1st in 2014 and, as part of my role as Director of Programmes at Sound and Music, I went on to develop and lead a national coaching programme for composers.
I received my Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of East London in August 2018 and then relocated to West Yorkshire and started my private practice.
Drawing on my extensive background in music and the arts, I have delivered training in a range of organisations and academic institutions. I have worked as a coach, trainer and facilitator for many cultural organisations including Trinity Laban Conservatoire, The London Philharmonic Orchestra, The National Theatre, The Southbank Centre, The Barbican Centre, The Royal Academy of Music, Snape Maltings, Sound and Music, Jazz North, Ty Cerdd and Cardboard Citizens. Many of my current clients are involved in the creative industries in some way, either as artists, producers or both. I continue to work in the arts as a volunteer; here in Marsden I am Chair of Trustees of the Marsden Jazz Festival.

As a counsellor and coach I’ve worked with dozens of individual clients.
I’m experienced at working both face to face and remotely online or via telephone. I can work at great depth with clients, or help to focus attention on strategies and immediate planning, according to need.
