About me
I offer counselling for people who feel deeply, think differently, or have never quite fitted neatly into the boxes they were given.
That might mean anxiety, trauma, burnout, low self-esteem or difficult relationships. It might also mean identity, creativity, intensity, alienation, or simply a sense that you’ve become disconnected from yourself somewhere along the way.
And no, I won’t tell you to just take a bath.
My approach is down-to-earth, collaborative and depth-oriented. No stiff clinical performance, no generic advice, and no “just think positive” nonsense. We work with what is actually there - including the messy, contradictory, uncomfortable, strange and meaningful parts.
Some sessions may involve talking things through. Others might draw on inner imagery, mindfulness, self-soothing, creativity, body awareness, or deeper exploration of patterns and emotions. I work integratively, so the therapy can adapt to you rather than forcing you into a single model.
Many people come wanting relief from distress. Others come wanting to understand themselves more deeply. Often, the work becomes both: easing what hurts while reconnecting with parts of yourself that have been buried, adapted, or lost along the way.
I particularly welcome alternative, creative, unconventional and introspective people - including those who may have felt too intense, too different, too complicated, or simply unseen in more conventional spaces.
You do not need to make yourself more ordinary here.
If you’re feeling stuck, and longing to become more fully who you are, we can start there.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
My particular interest lies in the places where distress, identity and meaning meet - and in helping people reconnect with what feels most deeply their own. I'm also interested in psychospiritual experiences and altered states of consciousness. This includes Active Imagination and its various forms.
