​My approach is tailored to meet your unique needs, designed to support your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing in a compassionate and welcoming environment. 

​In & around the New Forest or coastal fronts walking and talking or in the comfort of a confidential space.

Clients find walk & talk, grounding & calming, especially when emotions feel overwhelming or hard to express in a room. 

As an integrative therapeutic counsellor my approach is collaborative and flexible - I draw on different therapeutic models to suit your individual needs, inc. person-centred, eco therapy & mindfulness-based practices.

Working with you to explore and address life’s challenges, such as anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement & grief or trauma, neurodivergent issues and chronic pain and situational stresses & life's transitions like menopause & women's health.

​Together, working on building self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience to help you navigate through difficult times and enhance your overall quality of life.

We can have a free chat before ​you decide or feel ready to book your session.
