About me
My passion in life is people. From an early age, I've been curious about why we feel the way we do, why we behave as we do, and what helps us feel better. That curiosity has never really left me and is at the heart of how I work with both individuals and couples.
My core training is Person-Centred Counselling, which means I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role isn't to tell you what to do, but neither will I simply sit quietly and leave you to figure everything out alone.
I'm warm, down-to-earth and curious. Together we can explore what's happening now, understand where certain feelings or patterns may have come from, and look at what could help you move forward. Where it's useful, I also bring in ideas and practical tools around relationships, communication, attachment and emotional wellbeing.
I'm often told that I'm easy to talk to and good at putting people at ease. I know taking that first step into counselling can feel daunting, so creating a relationship where you can be yourself, without judgement, matters enormously to me.
Ultimately, I want counselling to help you understand yourself better, feel more able to trust yourself, and make changes that feel right for you.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I have a special interest in relationships and working with couples. I know how much an unhappy or disconnected relationship can ripple into other areas of our lives, affecting how we feel about ourselves as well as those closest to us.
Couples often come to counselling after struggling for a long time, when conversations have become arguments, distance has grown, or they've simply lost sight of how to reach each other. That doesn't necessarily mean it's too late.
Counselling can help you understand the patterns you've become caught in, communicate differently and begin to relate to each other in a way that feels healthier and more connected. With openness and a willingness to look at what each of you brings to the relationship, meaningful change is possible.
