About me

 Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or misunderstood? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it all by yourself.

I work with adults who are trying to make sense of life after trauma, navigate the world as neurodivergent individuals, or manage challenges like anxiety, low self-worth, and relationship difficulties. You might feel like you’re always masking, repeating old patterns, or just not living the life you hoped for. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface—gently, at your pace—and begin to uncover what needs to be heard, healed, and reclaimed.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep listening. I offer a space where you can feel safe to be real, explore what’s been holding you back, and build the resilience to move forward with clarity and self-trust.

Whether you’re feeling lost, disconnected, or simply unsure where to start, I’ll meet you where you are. My role is to support you in making sense of your story—and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have been silenced or hidden.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
