The treatments that I use are:- reflexology, indian head massage, reiki healing, crystal/ colour therapy, aromatherapy/swedish massage & Access Consciousness.

I am a qualified midwife, and my years of experience in pregnancy and birth give me the knowledge to enhance my service in hypnobirthing, relaxation for fertility and pregnancy, and moving on from birth trauma. I am also experienced in caring for families during times of grief and loss, helping support you and your family during this difficult time. My service is solution focused, which means you don't have to relive the past - this is particularly useful if you're experiencing anxiety/depression and need help to move forward in your life and get help to shape the person you deserve to be.

I will provide a space in which to help you process thoughts and emotions and work out why you feel the way you do and what you can do about it. It is the place where you can be yourself without judgement or being given unhelpful advice. The place I will be there just for you in that moment, listening, understanding and caring. It can be very daunting to reach out to someone for help and I am happy that you have found the courage to do so.

Coming to talk to someone about your deepest most personal thoughts and feelings takes a lot of courage. I will offer you respect, honesty and understanding which I believe will help you to look at your most challenging and painful experiences that you are finding hard to deal with. I believe very strongly in the sincerity and openness of the counselling relationship, and that is why I chose to qualify as a Person-Centred Counsellor.

I have experienced a number of issues, including: Abandonment at birth Transracial Adoption Drug Addiction Domestic Violence Death of my sibling I have been in the pits of depression and darkness, but I made a decision: that I could continue on this path or change my life. So I did the first year of a degree in Psychology, I also studied Life Coaching / Counselling courses Level 4/5, and believe in a balance between "textbook" knowledge and life experience, that you cannot really understand mental health, or real emotional trauma unless you have experienced it, or properly help anyone without studying in a formal way.
