Life is exciting, vibrant, busy, scary, unexpected and at times emotional.

We navigate through each day sometimes on autopilot not even realising how we are feeling or patterns that might be forming.

My aim is to offer you a safe space where you can have time and support in a confidential setting to explore how you are feeling, coping and behaving as a result of your unique life experiences.

I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor with my main focus being on the person centred approach.

I understand the importance of gentle attentive care and I am passionate about supporting people. I have worked with clients experiencing a wide variety of struggles and I currently volunteer with the Community Bereavement Service at Jersey Hospice which has given me a deeper understanding of the complexities of grief and loss, which I approach with kindness and sensitivity.

For the last four years I have worked as a school based counsellor here in Jersey and prior to that I have over 15 years experience of working with children and young people through various roles, both in primary and secondary school settings, supporting young people with their emotional needs. I believe children learn better and are happier in school if their emotional needs are also addressed.

I am trained and practiced in the process of Drawing and Talking and as an ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) so I can also draw on these skills to offer emotional support in a gentle friendly fun atmosphere. Examples of where this might be useful could be social skills, understanding emotions, bereavement, anger management, self esteem and friendship.

I have up to date safeguarding training and knowledge in order to prioritise children, young people and vulnerable adults safety.
