About me

Welcome

Sometimes life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of where to turn next. You may have been carrying things on your own for a long time, wondering if anyone will really understand what you're going through.

Taking the first step towards counselling isn't always easy, and it can feel daunting to reach out. My aim is to offer a warm, supportive space where you can talk openly, feel genuinely listened to, and begin to make sense of whatever has brought you here.

I believe that every person has their own unique story. Rather than trying to fit you into a particular therapeutic model, I take the time to get to know you as an individual. Together, we'll explore your experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you, helping you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, develop new ways of coping, and move towards the life you want to live.

Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, loss, or simply feeling that life has become difficult to manage, you don't have to face it alone. Counselling can provide the space to reflect, heal, and discover that change is possible.

Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, you will be met with warmth, respect, and compassion. My hope is that our work together will help you reconnect with your strengths, find greater clarity, and take the next step towards your own new beginning.

Who I Work With

I work with adults from all walks of life. Some people come to therapy because of a specific event, while others simply know that life doesn’t feel the way it used to.

You may have spent a long time putting everyone else’s needs first, or perhaps you’ve reached a point where you’re ready to understand yourself better and make some positive changes.

Whatever has brought you to counselling, you’ll be met with warmth, compassion and respect.

What You Might Be Experiencing

You may be experiencing:

Anxiety or constant worry
Depression or low mood
Stress or burnout
Trauma or the effects of past experiences
Relationship difficulties
Low self-esteem or loss of confidence
Bereavement or loss
Feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands
Major life changes or uncertainty about the future
Feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself

Sometimes there isn’t one single reason. You may simply know that something doesn’t feel quite right anymore.

My Approach

No two people experience life in the same way, so I don’t believe therapy should be the same for everyone.

My work is person-centred at its heart, meaning our sessions begin with you, your experiences and what feels important to you. I work in an integrative and trauma-informed way, drawing on approaches including Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic thinking where they are most helpful.

Above all, I believe that a trusting therapeutic relationship provides the foundation for meaningful change. My aim is to offer a calm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings.

How Counselling Can Help

Counselling offers the opportunity to pause, reflect and begin to make sense of what you’re experiencing.

Together we can:

Explore difficult thoughts and emotions
Understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck
Develop healthier ways of coping
Build confidence and self-esteem
Improve relationships and communication
Work through the impact of past experiences
Find greater clarity and resilience
Help you move towards the life you want to live
Explore difficult thoughts and emotions
Understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck
Develop healthier ways of coping

Therapy won’t change your past, but it can help you understand it differently and move forward with greater confidence and hope.

Training, qualifications & experience

About Me
I am an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), with a background in social work, counselling and adult education.

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years supporting people through significant life challenges as a qualified social worker. Alongside my private practice, I also teach counselling, something I find both rewarding and inspiring.

My professional experience, together with my own understanding of life’s many transitions and new beginnings, has strengthened my belief that people are capable of growth, healing and positive change when they feel genuinely heard and supported.
