At times when you may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, alone and finding life difficult, counselling can be helpful. I am here to support you.

Connection and communication with others is an essential part of life, particularly at times of difficulty, crisis, heightened anxiety and isolation. It is human nature to grow and develop by relating to other people, in personal or professional relationships or through shared interests or experiences. When this becomes difficult to do, when something in life changes, when you feel isolated or withdrawn and don't know how to get back on track, I am here to help. I will offer support, clarity, gentle guidance and an impartial ear to listen as you work towards gradually feeling more connected with yourself and others. Within this safe and supportive relationship, we work together to create positive change in your life. Please note that I work with adult individuals 18+.

I can support you to, among others;

Work through present difficulties

Focus on a specific issue, crisis point or experience in your life

Connect with and identify your feelings

Manage difficult feelings such as anger, guilt or shame

Address difficult or challenging relationships

Make relationship decisions

Understand yourself better

Repair old and familiar patterns that are no longer working or perhaps never made you truly happy

Heal from past experiences and trauma

Discover the unknown about yourself

Accept parts you may be less comfortable with because they make you human and whole

Increase self-awareness, self-esteem and confidence

Develop a positive outlook

Embrace new opportunities

Feel free from people-pleasing

Build ways to better self-care

Experience deeper relationships with yourself and others which feel more genuine and fulfilling

As a fully qualified and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist, I offer a safe, private and accepting space for you to talk things through. Talking with me separately from your friends or family and feeling emotionally safe and understood may help you to open up more because I will not judge or give advice. Our time together will involve me helping you to work through your experiences and become more aware of your feelings, behaviours and thoughts. Together we will look at how to develop self awareness and self acceptance and to find your own voice when relating and communicating with others, which will enable you to move forward.

Certain counselling styles suit some people differently to others, so I draw from a range of approaches to provide the right support to meet your individual needs. With my support and gentle guidance, these are all possible;

Healing from old wounds

Freedom from the past

Recovery from unhelpful patterns

A new outlook

Healthy connection with your feelings

Improved relationships

Reaching your goals

A better, happier way of living

We will go at your pace, with gentle encouragement, to look at the difficulties you are experiencing.

This can ...

Trigger thoughts and feelings about other experiences you have had

Help you make sense of them and why they are still having an impact

Heal old wounds, repair patterns and improve current relationships

Lead to old, harmful feelings being replaced by new, positive emotions

Integrate these experiences into your new way of being in a way that is healing and transformative.

Trainee Counsellors

I have extensive experience supporting students with personal therapy during counselling training. I provide a safe, trusting and wholly empathic space in which to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences both past and present. Working through transferences as they arise within our therapeutic relationship will help you become more aware of the impact of past experiences and relationships on your life today. Being able to explore this openly, honestly, with curiosity and genuineness and without judgement is a fundamental relational aspect of the way I work.

As training material may arise within or alongside your own therapeutic experience, I am mindful of maintaining a safe and boundaried space. Therefore, I work with minimal numbers of counselling students across a range of training institutions so that I can support your counselling process wholly impartially and without outside influence.

Concessions are available for trainee counsellors, please contact me for details.
