Meet the Co-Founders

Im a full time Counsellor and Psychotherapist in private practice, also taking referrals from EAPs. I also train and write.
'Looking through a Lens of Terribleness' was my MSc research project. Exploring and understanding professionals needs when they are working with and listening to those in trauma. Learning to care for ourselves is an absolute necessity, when we're caring for and supporting others.
I bring my research and a range of front line and management experience in counselling, domestic abuse services, and family services.
