MY STORY

2015 saw a BIG shift in all areas of my life including the call to leave my career as a secondary school teacher and retrain as a counsellor and psychotherapist. The very first day of study, I knew I was where I was meant to be and it set me on a path of learning and aiding others in their healing. 3 years later I qualified as an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist and have been developing my practice ever since. 

​

In 2019 I began work as a Student Counsellor, and later progressed to Counselling Service Coordinator, at a music university in Bristol which has allowed me to do further training working with children and young people. More recently I felt the call again, this time to set up my private practice and in early 2022 'Held' was born. 

​

As an integrative therapist I utilise techniques from various therapeutic orientations to meet your individual needs. Primarily talking therapy, I also weave cognitive and creative strategies throughout. Firmly rooted in the humanistic and person-centred approach, I believe that within each of us the potential to grow and heal. In Held, I aim to provide a safe space for healing to naturally unfold.
