I started The Ignite Practice to create a space that feels real and welcoming — a space where anyone, from any background, can come and feel truly seen. Whoever you are, and whatever you’re going through, you’re welcome here.

I became a counsellor because I believe everyone deserves someone in their corner — someone who listens, cares, and doesn’t judge.

My journey into this work wasn’t straightforward. Long before I had formal training, I was learning about resilience, survival, and the profound complexity of being human, through caring for others, and through working in the community.

I have sat with people in some of their darkest moments, and I’ve done my own healing along the way. That experience shapes how I show up for my clients.

In sessions, I am warm, honest, and genuinely present. I will meet you with compassion, and I won’t avoid the hard conversations when they matter.

I have worked in a range of settings, including mental health wards supporting people with mood disorders, PTSD, and addiction, as well as with children and families in care, disability support, and crisis services. I bring that breadth of real-world experience into every session.

I’m also a proud mum, and outside of work you'll find me cooking, creating, and planning the next adventure. I bring that same curiosity into my work, because I believe the journey of getting to know yourself is one of the greatest adventures there is.

It’s a privilege to do this work, and I don’t take that lightly.

Philosophy and Vision

Something brought you here today — and that matters. Whether you arrived through a referral or found your own way, this is a space just for you.

At The Ignite Practice, therapy is about coming home to yourself. Not a version of you that society has shaped, questioned, or diminished — but the truth of who you really are, alongside everything you have been through.

I believe there is an art in seeing people with compassion and holding hope. My role is to walk with you there, to shine a light on your greater potential and help you find your way back to yourself.

Your pain is real. Your potential is too. You don't have to choose between them.

I draw from my training and experience in:

Compassionate Inquiry
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Person Centred Approach
Trauma-Informed Practice (Certified Trauma Professional)
While these frameworks guide me, each session is integrated uniquely for you and your needs.

Quality Provision

Most of us were never taught how to truly understand ourselves. We learn to cope, to perform, to push through — but rarely to pause and ask: What is actually happening for me right now?

Counselling is that space. It’s a place where you can lay down what you’ve been carrying, organise thoughts that have never had room to breathe, and speak things out loud that have only ever lived inside you.

There is something quietly powerful about being truly heard — not fixed, not judged, not rushed. Just seen.

Together, we work toward alignment — a growing clarity about who you are beneath everything that has happened to you and everything that has been placed on you.

This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about coming back to yourself.
