About me

Welcome to A Safe Space to Reconnect, Reflect, and Heal

Life asks a lot of us. Whether you are caring for others, managing complex relationships, or simply holding everything together day by day, it is easy to lose touch with your own needs. If you are feeling emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next steps, therapy can offer the space you have been needing to breathe, reflect and come home to yourself.
I work with individuals, couples, and children & young people offering a calm, grounded space where they can feel truly heard. My approach combines warmth and emotional depth with practical therapeutic support, helping clients navigate the challenges in front of them and reconnect with what matters most.

 
How I Can Help
Individual Therapy : £80 / 50 minutes
Sometimes, life just feels too much. You may be carrying anxiety, burnout, grief, or a deep sense that something’s missing. Or perhaps you are facing a moment of change, shifting identity, navigating transitions, or re-evaluating the path you are on.
Together, we will explore your inner landscape with care and curiosity. You will have space to speak openly, gain clarity, and rediscover your own voice and strength. We move at your pace, in a way that feels gentle yet empowering.


Therapy for Relationships – £150 / 90 minutes
When communication breaks down or emotional closeness fades, it can be painful and isolating. I support couples in building reconnection, resolution, or release working through conflict, and navigating major life changes with more compassion and understanding.
Whether you are feeling unheard, emotionally distant, or uncertain about the future of your relationship, this work offers a chance to pause, reflect, and find your way forward together.

 
Support for Children & Young People
It is hard to watch a child struggle. Whether they are showing signs of anxiety, anger, sadness, or withdrawal, therapy can help them make sense of big emotions in a safe, supportive environment. My work with young people is playful, age-appropriate, and attuned to each child’s emotional world.
I also support parents in understanding how to hold space for their child’s feelings at home, strengthening the bond and helping the whole family move toward greater calm and connection.

 
My Approach
My style is relational, attuned, and non-judgmental. This is your space to be fully yourself without pressure, expectation, or the need to “have it all together.” We’ll work collaboratively, guided by what feels meaningful to you, while gently untangling patterns and discovering new possibilities.

 
It’s okay not to have all the answers before you start. You’re welcome just as you are.
I offer a free, no-obligation introductory call to help you decide whether this feels like the right support for you.

Areas of counselling I deal with

Other areas of counselling I deal with

I’m passionate about helping mothers and daughters—and all parents and children—cultivate meaningful, supportive, and lasting relationships. That's why I offer Parents and Adult Children Therapeutic Coaching, designed to help families navigate the unique and often complex dynamics of their bond.

A Special Focus on the Mother-Daughter Relationship
Among the many relationships I support, the mother-daughter dynamic is one of the most common and emotionally rich. It can be deeply loving but also layered with misunderstanding, unmet expectations, or generational patterns. Whether you're a mother feeling distanced from your daughter, or a daughter struggling to be seen or understood, this therapeutic coaching is a space for you to heal, reconnect, and grow together.

 
Parents and Adult Children Coaching
(Packages available – to be discussed in your introductory call.)

I specialise in working with parents and their adult children to reconnect, repair communication, and build stronger, healthier relationships. If you're feeling unheard, disconnected, or caught in patterns that no longer serve you, this work can help.

Together, we'll:

- Create space for honest, respectful conversations
- Understand each other’s perspectives and emotional needs
- Develop tools to communicate with more clarity and compassion
- Rebuild trust and foster deeper connection
- Whether you want to mend a strained relationship or simply strengthen the one you already have, this coaching provides a supportive, non-judgmental space to do just that.

 
Parenting Support for All Parents
(Packages available – to be discussed in your introductory call.)

Parenting is one of the most rewarding and challenging roles you can take on. Whether your child is growing into their independence, facing emotional or behavioural challenges, or you're navigating big life transitions like divorce, blending families, or illness, it's normal to feel overwhelmed.

Therapeutic coaching for parents offers:

- Support in developing emotionally attuned parenting strategies
- Help understanding your child’s developmental needs
- Guidance in managing your own emotional responses
- Tools for navigating difficult conversations and behavioural concerns
- A clearer sense of confidence and calm in your parenting journey
This space is for all parents—whether you’re raising young children, teens, or adult children. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

 
If you’re ready to explore support for your relationship with your daughter, your child, or yourself as a parentI’d love to connect.

I offer a free, no-obligation introductory call to help you decide whether this feels like the right support for you.

Additional information

I understand that the cost of therapy can be a significant consideration. It’s also one of the most valuable investments you can make in your mental and emotional well-being, your relationships, and your overall quality of life. When you begin therapy, you’re not just booking a session, you’re choosing to build tools that help you navigate life with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence.

The support I offer is tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're looking to manage stress more effectively, strengthen your relationships, process difficult experiences, or simply understand yourself more deeply, we’ll work together to build practical, meaningful skills that support real change in your daily life.

The fees reflect the experience, care, and intention I bring to our work. At the same time, the long-term benefits like increased self-awareness, emotional balance, and feeling more connected to yourself and others are truly invaluable. Therapy is a space for growth, healing, and transformation.

Therapy (50-minute session): £80
Couples Therapy (90-minute session): £150

I also offer a limited number of reduced-fee sessions for those who have been directly financially impacted by cancer. If that applies to you, you're welcome to bring it up during our introductory call.

How We Work Together
Therapy is a collaborative process, and it’s important that we both feel we’re a good fit. That’s why I offer a free 30-minute introductory call (via phone or Zoom). This is a space for us to meet, discuss what you’re looking for, and get a sense of whether working together feels right. If not, I’ll do my best to support you in finding a therapist or service that better suits your needs.I believe that finding the right therapeutic relationship is key, and I’m here to support you in making that decision with clarity and confidence.

I offer a free, no-obligation introductory call to help you decide whether this feels like the right support for you.
