Over 35 years as nurse and specialist psychological counsellor
After working in the NHS for over 35 years as a nurse and specialist psychological counsellor in a large Mental Health Trust, I wanted to develop a service that would provide highly skilled and accessible counselling service to people within the local community, and from this Meraki Counselling was born.
Meraki is a Greek word that means to do something with love and passion and to leave a part of you in what you do. This resonated deeply with me as I carry a deep passion for what I do. My focus has been to be the best counsellor / psychotherapist that I can be – and I continue to learn and grow through skilled training, having gained recognised qualifications and an accreditation alongside years of experience.
Please contact me if you are experiencing anxiety, depression or if you struggle due to sexual / physical abuse, bereavement, neglect or controlling relationships. I’m here to listen, to support and to help, in a safe, non-judgemental and welcoming environment.
