About me

Helping you Find Meaning in Life Again.

Have you been experiencing low mood, anxiety or depression? Maybe you have experienced a loss or have been feeling 'stuck'. These are all common things that make people come to counselling. Have you been yearning for things in your life to change? Reach out for an free initial call and I can let you know how my work can help you.

The search for meaning is central to my counselling approach. Challenges in life and difficult experiences, especially in our past can leave us disconnected from ourselves. This loss can have a profound effect on us. Our work together can help you can find purpose in your life again.

If we work together I want you to feel safe enough to share difficult thoughts and feelings. Taking this step I understand is difficult. I will endeavour to listen deeply, sensitively and without judgement. Together I hope to help you rediscover a connection to yourself and allow you to create more meaning and satisfaction in your life and relationships.
