I am a warm, thoughtful, sensitive, and empathic therapist. I bring compassion, intuition, creativity, humour, and an eye for life’s details into my practice. Alongside my formal training I draw from a broad life experience including motherhood, travel, a career in cake design, and my own therapeutic journey. I was brought up in Cumbria, and returned 20 years ago. I now live in Kendal with my two children, and am truly grateful to be able to feed our souls with the people and nature that surround us in the South Lakes.

I work in person at the Porchlight Practice, online using zoom, and I also offer therapy in the outdoors. Alongside my private practice, I was one of the volunteer counselling team at Carer Support South Lakes. I work with couples and individuals.

Whether you’re seeking therapy to live a more fulfilling life; to deal with stress, depression, or anxiety; improve relationships, or to explore experiences from your past then I can help. I offer you a safe, confidential space to be you. Here we can explore what is troubling you, what’s working for you and what isn’t; who you are, and what you want out of life. Give yourself the time to simply sit down, breathe and talk freely.

I work with individuals and couples: online, face-to-face, and outdoors.

My working hours are:
Monday 9.00am – 4.30pm
Tuesday 8.45am – 4.30pm
Wednesday 8.45am – 4.30pm
Thursday 9.00am – 8.30pm Friday 8.45am – 1.00pm

The quality of the relationship between therapist and client is an important factor in determining the quality of therapeutic outcomes. With this in mind, I offer a reduced fee initial appointment (£30 for 60 minutes), so that you get a sense of what it’s like to work with me, before deciding on further sessions.

I suggest committing to an initial block of six sessions which will be weekly, and then we will review your progress together. You may find that these sessions are enough to address your concerns, or you may decide that longer term work would benefit you. If you’d like to know more or book an appointment then please get in touch.

I endeavor to make my practice LGBTQ+ friendly, and an open and welcoming space for people from all cultures and backgrounds.
