MORE ABOUT ME & MY PRACTICE
I’ve worked in the mental health field for over eight years in a variety of roles. Prior to beginning private work with clients, I worked as a psychotherapist with adults, young people, and families within schools and various charitable organisations. I have experience working with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-harm, eating disorders, addiction, childhood abuse, complex trauma/CPTSD, and relational trauma.

Since completing my initial practitioner training, I've undertaken a number of professional development and certification courses, including those relevant to working therapeutically online, utilising creative techniques within therapy, and working with complex trauma and traumatic stress. I'm committed to ongoing professional and personal development to ensure my practice is fully informed and up-to-date. 

In my therapeutic practice, I use guinea pigs to create a calming and supportive environment for clients. Interacting with these gentle animals helps clients regulate their emotions, learn about trust and boundaries, and develop a sense of connection. Caring for guinea pigs also provides a soothing, hands-on activity that fosters mindfulness and promotes emotional well-being.

HOW CAN GUINEA PIGS SUPPORT
​MENTAL & EMOTIONAL HEALTH?

Guinea pigs offer unique support for mental health through their calming, gentle nature. Stroking their soft fur helps reduce stress, while their clear communication of boundaries teaches us to respect both their needs and our own. Building trust with them takes patience and care, fostering a sense of connection and teaching the value of consistent relationships. Their quiet, non-judgmental presence provides comfort, eases loneliness, and creates a soothing environment. These traits make guinea pigs valuable companions in therapy, offering a safe, therapeutic space for emotional healing.
