About me

Counselling is about you and your unique journey. Using a person-centred approach, I provide a safe, warm and empathetic environment where you can freely share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgement. The focus is on making you feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

My aim is to support your healing and personal growth by guiding you through the exploration of your thoughts, behaviours, and emotions. Together, we will work to identify your goals and develop strategies that embrace your strengths and help you navigate the challenges you face.
