More About Me

As I believe our relationship is such an important part of the therapy, here's a bit about myself to see if you feel we could work together. 


I am a mother of three teenagers and live in Berkshire enjoying the countryside and walking my dogs. I first qualified as a Primary School Teacher working first in London, followed by a few years in Sydney, Australia. I took a break from teaching and while bringing up my children I set up my own photography business focusing on family portrait photography. 


I loved the challenge of putting both children and adults at ease to get the best out of them, to get natural and happy photos. Through my love of working with both adults and children, I decided to re-train as a counsellor. I am currently running my private practice in Mortimer.
