About me
🌿 How I Can Help / My Approach
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or low self-esteem? Struggling with relationship or family issues, grief and loss or navigating a life transition? Whatever you're facing, you don't have to go through it alone. I'm here to support you with empathy, respect and understanding.
I work with clients experiencing a wide range of emotional, relational and behavioural challenges, including:
Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm
Low self-esteem, low self-confidence and self-criticism difficulties
Relationship and family issues
Grief, loss and bereavement
Perfectionism, procrastination and people-pleasing
Chronic pain and long-term health conditions
Low mood, depression, sadness, loneliness or feeling stuck
ADHD and related challenges (focus, organisation, emotional regulation)
Life transitions, identity shifts and personal growth
As a Person-Centred Counsellor, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can talk openly and be truly heard. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs, drawing on:
Person-Centred Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Mindfulness-based approaches
Creative and integrative tools, where appropriate.
Together, we’ll create a space where you can explore what’s going on, make sense of things and find a way forward.

Experience
I have worked with both adults and young people, offering counselling in person, online and by phone.
My experience has been shaped by roles in a variety of community and charity settings, including Service Six, Pegasus and Lakeland’s Hospice. In these roles, I have supported people facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, grief, chronic pain, relationship difficulties and the deep, long-lasting impact of trauma. I understand how trauma can affect every area of life and I strive to meet each person with empathy, respect and without judgment.
I’ve also worked with clients navigating issues such as perfectionism, procrastination, ADHD-related challenges and compulsive behaviours (including shopping addiction). Many people also come to therapy for self-development, identity exploration or support through significant life transitions and I welcome these reflective journeys too.
My approach is person-centred, flexible and holistic, always shaped by your unique needs, values and pace. I’m committed to creating a therapeutic space that feels safe, collaborative and focused on what matters most to you.
