I'm a fully qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor (Prof.Dip Psy C) and member of the NCPS (MNCPS Acc).

Counselling changed my life in many ways, helping me to see things from a different perspective, to treat myself with kindness and increased my confidence and self-esteem. I believe it can help you too!

My career had been in people management for many years in two ruthless industries. Although fulfilling my purpose of helping people reach their potential, I found myself losing my identity and confidence, and knew I wanted to do more to help and support people. My butterfly moment came during Covid when I was made redundant and I pursued the opportunity to become a counsellor and hypnotherapist.

I am a pluralistic counsellor. This means I have trained in a number of approaches to ensure we work with exactly what you need in the moment, to make you feel heard and put you at the centre of our sessions. I believe a one step approach does not work for everyone, so we will always go with what works for you. 

I set up Empowered Growth Counselling to help you feel empowered to make those positive changes in your life, to feel heard and listened to, and to help you see there is always light at the end of the tunnel. No issue is too small to bring to therapy - sometimes we minimise and normalise what we are going through, without realising the affect it is having on us. 

I provide a warm, safe and non-judgmental space for you to be authentically and unapologetically you, to talk about whatever is troubling you, or even just to have a chat if that's what you need or want.

I live in Bristol, and when I'm not in the therapy room, you can usually find me visiting family and friends around the country, reading a good book, or on a dance floor under the lasers!
