About me

Just because you're managing everything well, it doesn't mean it isn't taking its toll.

Perhaps you're the person everyone relies on, the one who keeps things going, takes on too much, and finds it difficult to say no. On the outside, you might seem like you're coping, but underneath you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or wondering when you'll get some time for yourself.

Maybe you're constantly overthinking, questioning your decisions, or feeling guilty when you put yourself first. You might have spent so long doing what's expected of you that you're not really sure what you want or need anymore. You know something isn't quite right, but you're not sure what needs to change.

I offer online and in person counselling for adults and young people experiencing overwhelm, anxiety, stress, low self esteem, relationship difficulties, or the lasting impact of past experiences and trauma. I also work with neurodivergent clients, including people with ADHD and autism, who may have spent years masking, trying to fit in, or feeling like they're somehow getting things wrong.

You might be tired of repeating the same patterns, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling like you're never quite doing enough. Together, we can begin to understand what's been happening, why things feel the way they do, and what might help you move forward.

My approach is warm, down to earth and trauma informed. You don't need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. Counselling gives you space to talk honestly about what's going on, without having to pretend you're okay, meet anyone else's expectations, or put your own feelings to one side.

I offer daytime counselling appointments, online across the UK and in person in Central Milton Keynes. These can work well if you have flexible working hours, work shifts, aren't currently working, or find that daytime sessions fit better around your life.

I also offer a free 30 minute telephone consultation so we can talk about what's bringing you to counselling and whether working together feels like the right fit.
