I am a BACP accredited integrative counsellor in Plymouth and provide a friendly, solution-focused, and relational approach to counselling and psychotherapy. I work in a trauma informed way.

Why Trauma informed?

"Trauma-Informed Practice is a strengths-based approach, which seeks to understand and respond to the impact of trauma on people’s lives. The approach emphasises physical, psychological, and emotional safety for everyone and aims to empower individuals to re-establish control of their lives."
