About me
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to visit my profile.
Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, particularly if you have been struggling for some time. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. My role is to offer you a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, feel heard and begin to make sense of what you are experiencing.
I am a fully qualified pluralistic counsellor. A pluralistic approach recognises that there is no single way of working that suits everyone. Instead, I work collaboratively with you, taking the time to understand what matters to you, what you would like to change and what kind of support feels most helpful. Your experiences, preferences and goals are central to our work together.
I support adults experiencing difficulties including anxiety, depression and low mood, low self-esteem, stress and emotional overwhelm. I am particularly interested in helping people who feel stuck, disconnected from themselves or unsure how to move forward, providing a space where we can gently explore what may be contributing to how you feel.
I have a particular interest in supporting people living with persistent or chronic pain. Pain can affect far more than the body; it can influence mood, confidence, relationships, sleep, identity and everyday life. People living with conditions such as fibromyalgia, endometriosis, chronic migraine, pelvic pain, autoimmune conditions and musculoskeletal pain can sometimes spend years feeling that their experiences have not been fully understood or heard.
My aim is not to dismiss or minimise your physical symptoms, but to recognise the whole person living with them. Together, we can explore the emotional and psychological impact of persistent pain, develop ways of coping, and consider how you can regain a greater sense of control and wellbeing alongside your physical health.
I also have a particular interest in the relationship between emotional wellbeing, body image, self-esteem and our relationship with food. Where these areas are affecting how you feel about yourself, counselling can provide an opportunity to explore these experiences with compassion and without judgement.
Alongside my counselling training, I am a trained Mindfulness Facilitator and Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist. Where appropriate, I may draw on mindfulness and solution-focused principles within my work, always in a way that is collaborative and appropriate for you. I believe these approaches can complement counselling by helping people develop greater awareness, self-compassion and a clearer sense of the changes they would like to make.
Above all, I want you to feel listened to, respected and understood. Counselling can provide a space to pause, reflect and begin to understand yourself and your experiences in a different way. We can work at a pace that feels manageable for you, without judgement or pressure.
If you feel ready to take that first step, I would be very happy to hear from you and explore whether counselling with me might be right for you.

Further information
I am a fully qualified counsellor and also volunteer as a counsellor with Noah’s Ark Counselling Centre, where I continue to develop my experience supporting people with a range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
My particular areas of interest include anxiety, depression and low mood, emotional wellbeing, and persistent or chronic pain management. I am especially interested in supporting people who are living with ongoing pain and exploring the emotional and psychological impact this can have on everyday life, confidence, relationships and wellbeing.
I am also a Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and have a particular interest in using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy alongside my wider professional work to support people with pain management, stress and emotional wellbeing.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and to providing a compassionate, collaborative and person-centred service that recognises each individual as a whole person.
