About me
Maybe you’ve become really good at holding everything together: showing up for others, getting through the day, and appearing like you’re coping. But underneath, you feel exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself.
Perhaps you’re struggling with thoughts that won’t quieten, difficult emotions that feel hard to understand, or experiences from the past that continue to affect how you see yourself and your relationships. Maybe you’re simply feeling stuck and unsure of what needs to change, but know that something doesn’t feel right.
I offer counselling for young people and adults who are looking for a space where they can slow down, feel heard, and explore what is really going on beneath the surface. Together, we can make sense of what you are carrying, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and help you reconnect with yourself and what matters most.
I don’t believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. I work alongside you with curiosity, compassion, and honesty, creating a space where you don’t need to have everything figured out before you arrive. I work integratively, drawing from person-centred and psychodynamic approaches to tailor therapy to you.
I know reaching out for therapy can feel daunting. You might have spent a long time trying to manage things alone before deciding to look for support, but you don't have to reach crisis point to deserve support. If you’re wondering whether therapy might be right for you, you’re welcome to get in touch and take that first step.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Young people and teenagers
Growing up can feel overwhelming. Teenagers are often navigating changes in identity, friendships, relationships, expectations, and their growing independence, while trying to understand emotions and experiences that may feel difficult to manage.
Over the past six years, I have supported young people in educational and therapeutic settings, including those experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, OCD, emotional difficulties, neurodiversity, relationship challenges, and difficult life experiences.
I understand that therapy can feel daunting, especially for young people who may feel unsure about opening up or worried about being judged. Many young people may not initially feel ready for therapy or know what to say, and building trust and a genuine therapeutic relationship is an important part of the process.
I aim to create a space where they can be themselves, at their own pace, without pressure to explain everything perfectly or have all the answers.
Having worked in schools, I also understand the pressures young people can face academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, we can explore their experiences, strengthen their understanding of themselves, and develop ways of coping that feel supportive and manageable.
Neurodiversity
Over the past six years, I have supported autistic people, individuals with ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, sensory processing differences, and other neurodivergent profiles across both educational and therapeutic settings.
You may be exploring whether you are neurodivergent, adjusting to a diagnosis, or simply trying to understand yourself and your experiences differently.
I understand that neurodivergence can bring unique strengths, but can also come with feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, frustration, being misunderstood, or the pressure to constantly adapt to fit in. My aim is to provide a space where you can explore your experiences without judgement, better understand yourself, and recognise the strengths and qualities that make you who you are.
Whether you are exploring your identity, navigating challenges at school, work, or in relationships, or trying to make sense of a diagnosis or differences that have shaped your life, I offer a supportive space to help you feel more understood and connected to yourself.
My approach is strengths-based and person-centred, recognising that you are more than a diagnosis or a set of challenges. Together, we can explore what feels difficult, what has shaped your experiences, and what support might help you feel more connected to yourself.
