I am both a professional counsellor accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and a massage and complementary therapist based in Cambridge. I can provide both counselling (talking therapy) online or complementary and manual therapy (including several massage techniques) in person.

I am also to able to offer trauma-informed massage therapy integrated with somatic experiencing and counselling-informed dialogue. I have worked therapeutically with adults and children and young people for a number of years now. I mainly deal with bereavement and loss, trauma, sexual abuse, and cultural adaptation issues (read more about my journey into counselling).

In my counselling practice, I work integratively and creatively, upholding the professional standards of conduct as set by my accreditation body (NCPS). I also attend ongoing supervision of my counselling practice, and I am fully committed to continuous professional development. I attend regular training sessions and workshops to keep my skills up-to-date, and be able to give my clients the very best service and support.

I also have over 10 years’ experience as a massage and complementary therapist in Cambridge, having mainly trained with the London School of Massage, ITEC, and Cambridge Regional College. A member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) and the Cambridge Massage Society I am also a Reiki Master and a spiritual healer accredited by the Spiritualist National Union and a member of the Cambridge spiritualist community. In my practice I sometimes use elements of energy healing and/or integrate bodywork and breathwork to help clients ground and safely process difficult feelings and emotions or past traumatic experiences. These somatic techniques can help release stored trauma (difficult feelings often get trapped somewhere in the body), calm the nervous system, and promote healing.

My services: counselling and trauma-informed therapy

Counselling as a talking therapy helps clients reflect on their issues and encourages them to make positive changes. It also helps them understand the different layers and complexity of trauma. I also provide practical guidance to help my clients on their journey towards emotional, physical, and mental healing and recovery.

I offer online or telephone counselling sessions in Cambridge and beyond for both adults and children and young people from the age of 8 to 18.

Book you free initial 20-minute consultation to see if I am a good match to work therapeutically with you or your child.

Children and young people counselling can help them:

• Identify, understand, process, and accept difficult feeling and emotions.
• Learn healthy coping skills and techniques to help them manage these better. Relaxation, mindfulness, and breathing exercises can help them ground during a stressful time, or an anxiety or panic attack.
