About Me
Psychotherapist and Counsellor in Norwich, Norfolk
Before training as a therapist, I spent years working in London for some of our biggest companies. Working with all kinds of people made me genuinely curious about what drives us. Why does one person fall apart in a situation that barely touches another? Why do we repeat the same patterns, even when we can see them? That curiosity stuck with me, and eventually it led me somewhere I hadn't expected.
I trained first as a life coach, and spent over nine years with the Warrior Programme, a charity supporting armed forces personnel and their families. I worked with people dealing with loss and separation, the aftermath of combat, and the particular kind of stress that comes with never quite knowing what's next. It was some of the most meaningful work I have done.
My own life changed significantly around that time too. Some of it was welcome. Some of it wasn't. I went through therapy myself, and it shifted something. I began to understand myself properly, perhaps for the first time. I found the courage to make choices that were actually mine.
That experience is part of why I do this. I know what it's like to sit in that chair. And I know that it can genuinely help.
I work with adults on a one-to-one basis, in person and online. I am a great lover of the outdoors, which is part of why walk and talk therapy feels so natural to me. There's something abot being out in the Norfolk countryside or along the coast that opens people up in ways a room sometimes can't.
