My name is Imogen; I am an integrative Counsellor.

My journey to becoming a counsellor began in my teenage years, when I faced my own mental health challenges.

Receiving counselling at that time was truly a lifeline for me – it showed me the power of being heard, accepted and supported without judgment. This set me on a path to become a mental health nurse, working with people suffering from depression, anxiety, psychosis, OCD and other mental health challenges. I went on to specialise in supporting people with eating disorders and their families.

In 2015, I set up a charity that supports refugees and asylum seekers. Through this I have deepened my understanding of trauma and working in a trauma informed way, providing an environment where people feel safe, valued and motivated.

As a mum to twin boys and a daughter, all now adults, I have an appreciation of life’s complexities as a parent. This has also strengthened my knowledge of neurodiversity, particularly the challenges of ADHD and dyslexia.

My journey to becoming a counsellor began in my teenage years, when I faced my own mental health challenges along with struggles with dyslexia.

All these experiences have taught me that every person’s journey is unique. I work without judgment, believing that a deep, trusting therapeutic relationship can be a powerful foundation for change, healing and personal growth.

My Approach

Integrative therapy is a blended approach to counselling that brings together techniques from different therapeutic models to best support you as a whole person. It’s like having a toolbox to draw from, rather than following one single method.  My work is person-centered, meaning our sessions evolve as you do, allowing us to explore your thoughts, emotions, patterns and behaviours, in a space where you feel safe to be yourself and move at your own pace.
