A place where you can simply be yourself.
Finding the right counsellor matters.
Choosing a counsellor is a personal decision, and it’s important to find someone you feel comfortable with. I’ve tried to give you a genuine sense of who I am, how I work and the areas I can support you with, so you can decide whether I might be the right counsellor for you.
Counselling
Sometimes life can feel heavier than it should.
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, exhausted, or simply not quite yourself. Perhaps your mind won’t switch off, you’re carrying worries alone, or you’re finding it difficult to make sense of your thoughts and feelings.
You might be struggling with a harsh inner critic, constantly questioning yourself, overthinking conversations, or feeling as though you are never quite good enough, no matter how hard you try.
Counselling offers a confidential, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what is happening for you.
You do not need to know exactly what to say. And you do not need to be certain why you are struggling.
We can explore things together, at your pace. Whatever has brought you here, you deserve to be heard.
My Approach
I believe that healing and growth can happen when we feel genuinely seen, heard and accepted.
My approach is warm, compassionate and collaborative. Rather than telling you what to do or offering quick fixes, I provide a space where we can explore what is happening for you and make sense of it together.
I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for support, especially when you have spent a long time coping on your own. Many of us become very good at carrying on, even when we are struggling underneath.
Every person is different, so I adapt my approach to meet your individual needs. At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship, creating a space where you can feel comfortable enough to be yourself, explore difficult emotions, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.
Alongside my counselling training, my background in holistic therapy has given me a strong appreciation of the connection between mind and body. I believe emotional wellbeing is about more than simply managing symptoms.
It is also about understanding yourself with greater compassion, building self-acceptance, and finding a way forward that feels right for you.
Who I Work With
I work with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and life challenges.
Whether you're experiencing anxiety, stress or overwhelm, low mood or depression, low self-esteem, a harsh inner critic, grief or loss, relationship or family difficulties, work-related issues, burnout, caring responsibilities, neurodivergence, identity and self-discovery, or periods of significant change or uncertainty, counselling can offer a space to explore what you're going through.
You may simply feel stuck, lost, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of what you need next. You do not need a diagnosis or a specific reason to seek counselling.
Many people come because something simply does not feel right and they want support to understand why.
What to Expect
Sessions last 50 minutes and are available online or in person.
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and explore what has brought you to counselling. There is no expectation to share everything straight away, and we will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Many people feel nervous before their first appointment, especially if counselling is new to them.
You do not need to prepare anything.
You do not need to know exactly what to say.
You do not need to have a clear goal.
Everything you share is treated confidentially, with a small number of legal and ethical exceptions relating to safety, which I will explain before we begin.
I am a qualified counsellor and an NCPS Accredited Registrant. I work within the NCPS ethical framework, undertake regular clinical supervision, and continue my professional development.
Taking the First Step
Reaching out for support can feel daunting, particularly if you are used to managing everything on your own.
