My journey towards being a counsellor began at the tender age of 18 when I (quite literally) flew the nest and went to volunteer as a teacher in Namibia with the charity Project Trust. The year I spent with these wondrous children ignited deep within me a knowing that my life’s purpose was to help people experiencing psychological distress.

I went on to study a degree in Social Dynamics at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, majoring in psychology and sociology. Returning to England, I enrolled at the University of Warwick where I spent the next four years completing my degree in person-centred counselling. Throughout this time, I was employed in various roles in which I supported young people whilst also volunteering as a trainee counsellor at a local charity counselling service.

After graduating, I was employed as a counsellor for young people living in Warwickshire before deciding that I wanted to venture into private practice. This is when Root and Flow Counselling was born! Ever since, I have been honoured to provide a space where you can delve into your inner world, finding meanings, a greater self-awareness and acceptance of who you are.
