About me
Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, burnout, low self esteem, or feeling stuck, counselling offers a space to reflect and find clarity.
At the heart of my work is a deep respect for each person’s unique way of experiencing and relating to the world. I provide a non-pathologising, affirming, and inclusive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and relationships- whether with partners, family members, or yourself.
My approach is strengths and evidence based, supporting you to identify patterns that may be affecting your wellbeing and help you to find strategies to emotionally regulate.
Through talking therapy, practical tools and techniques you will learn to deepen your self-awareness, emotional regulation and understanding, so you can build resilience and nurture healthier, more authentic relationships. I bring experience in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, and relational diversities.
I offer psychoeducation, self-regulation tools, and trauma-informed support, all tailored to your individual experience. I work with a strong diversity affirming ethos, recognising and valuing different neurotypes.
Our sessions will be a space where you can explore what’s happening for you, recognise patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical strategies to move forward.
How I Can Support You
- By experiencing a safe, compassionate and inclusive space, you will learn how to self-regulate and manage anxiety, depression, overwhelm and stress.
- Gain insight into your attachment and relationship patterns and how they impact your well-being.
- Get a better understanding on how to manage family and relational challenges, including communication and boundaries.
- Healing from past experiences and taking back control of your life.
- Rebuilding self-worth and confidence in who you are.
- A deeper understanding of yourself and what you truly need.
- An inclusive, affirming space where you can be fully yourself.
As an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, I work with adults (18+) and have experience supporting individuals through a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, neurodiversity and more. My approach is compassionate, inclusive and tailored entirely to you.
I offer in-person and online sessions, as well as weekend therapeutic retreats.
If you’re curious about counselling but unsure where to start, book a free initial call. Taking this step can feel daunting, but it’s a step toward healing, self-awareness, and transformation.
