About me

I am a Person-Centred Counsellor who offers support to individuals face to face, online and via the telephone. 

People reach out for support through counselling for many reasons and choosing to engage in this work is an amazing act of self-care. Counselling can help you:

  • Deal with major life events like a bereavement or breakdown of a relationship.
  • Recognise and understand patterns of behaviour and how you relate/interact with the world.
  • Process and heal from past experiences.
  • Find manageable coping mechanisms and make meaningful changes.
  • Deepen your understanding of yourself and find self-acceptance.

I understand that taking those first steps on your counselling journey can feel very daunting, and maybe even a bit frightening, but I offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore any difficulties you are experiencing and create an empathetic, non-judgmental, warm and friendly environment for us to work in. Every client is unique, so I am happy to undertake and support each session at your pace.
