About me
I offer a calm, compassionate counselling space for young people (11+) and adults who want to feel more grounded, understood and supported. My approach is pluralistic, which means I tailor each session to the individual drawing from person‑centred, CBT, psychodynamic, trauma‑informed and mindfulness-based approaches.
With over 18 years’ experience in safeguarding, pastoral care and behaviour support, I understand the pressures young people and adults face, and I provide a safe space where you can explore challenges at your own pace.
My practice, Natural Reflections Therapy, is focused on warmth, curiosity and gentle encouragement. Whether you’re navigating varying forms of anxiety, low confidence, school or work stress, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a space where you can reconnect with yourself and move forward with clarity and resilience.
I have extensive experience working with Young Carers, supporting families around dementia and neurodiversity, emotional regulation and work with a trauma informed approach.

Further information
I work pluralistically, meaning I adapt therapy to suit you rather than expecting you to fit a single model. Sessions may include reflective conversation, grounding techniques, CBT tools and creative approaches, always guided by what feels right for you.
My style is gentle, steady and collaborative. I won’t rush you or push you into anything before you’re ready. Instead, I offer a calm, consistent presence where you can explore your thoughts and feelings safely.
I have a particular interest in supporting:
- Young people navigating school pressures, identity, friendships and emotional overwhelm
- Adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, self‑doubt or life transitions
- Clients who appreciate a warm, non‑judgemental space with clear boundaries and structure
Sessions can take place online or in person or telephone based, depending on your needs.
