About me
Counselling Profile
I am a compassionate and experienced integrative counsellor in my 50s, offering a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. Alongside my professional training, I bring valuable life experience, which helps me connect with clients in a genuine, grounded, and understanding way.
I offer both face-to-face counselling in Durham and online counselling across the UK, providing flexible support to suit your needs.
My practice is based at:
Durham Workspace, Abbey Road, Pity Me, Durham DH1 5JZ
I specialise in supporting individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and the impact of domestic abuse. I also work with children and young people, helping them to understand their emotions, build resilience, and feel heard in a supportive environment.
As an integrative, trauma-informed counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor our work to your individual needs. This may include elements of person-centred therapy, CBT techniques, and reflective, insight-based work, depending on what feels most helpful for you.
Clients often come to me when they feel:
Overwhelmed or anxious
Stuck in negative thought patterns
Affected by past trauma or abusive relationships
Lacking confidence or self-worth
In need of emotional support or clarity
Together, we can work towards:
Improving emotional wellbeing
Building self-confidence and self-awareness
Developing healthy coping strategies
Processing difficult experiences safely
Creating meaningful and lasting change
I offer a calm and supportive space where you can feel truly listened to and understood. Taking the first step can feel difficult, but you don’t have to face things alone.
Areas of support:
Anxiety | Depression | Trauma | Domestic Abuse | Emotional Wellbeing | Stress | Self-Esteem | Children & Young People | Integrative Counselling | Online Counselling | Face-to-Face Counselling | Personal Development | Mindfulness
If you’re looking for a qualified, approachable, and understanding integrative counsellor in Durham or online, I am here to support you.
