About me
Hi, I'm an integrative therapist working with adults, offering counselling and emotional support in a way that’s down-to-earth, flexible, and tailored to you.
My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable - somewhere safe, supportive, and free of judgment - so you can talk about what’s going on at your own pace. I believe therapy should feel like it fits you, not something you have to fit into. That’s why I work collaboratively, adapting to your needs, preferences, and what feels helpful to you.
I’ve worked in a range of settings - from supporting clients at PIPs with things like anxiety, bereavement, identity, anger, and suicide-related issues, to working as a staff counsellor at ChildLine with high-risk young people. I've also provided therapy in counselling agencies and in private practice. These experiences have helped me learn how to be flexible in my approach and meet people where they are, whatever they’re facing.
The kind of support I offer depends on what you’re going through. It might involve looking at past experiences, exploring difficult thoughts or emotions, managing stress or anxiety, working with low mood or depression, or navigating relationship or life challenges. I also help people build emotional resilience, understand themselves better, and find healthier ways to cope.
I know it’s not easy to sit with painful feelings, let alone talk about them or try to change things. That’s why I aim to offer a space where you can feel heard and supported - and when you're ready, we’ll work together toward whatever change or clarity feels most important to you.
