About me
"Do you ever feel like something is blocking you from moving forward, no matter how hard you try? You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of the next step. You don’t have to go through it alone. Counselling can give you the space and support to untangle those feelings and move towards clarity."
During our sessions, clients may laugh, cry, or simply take a breath they didn’t realise they were holding. I am not a silent counsellor; I will be part of the conversation with you. Together, we will explore what’s holding you back, what you need right now, and what can help you move forward in your own way.
I work with people facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, relationship difficulties, neurodiversity, cultural issues, identity concerns, psychosexual issues, and couple/relationship issues. My approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to you. I use integrative counselling, which means I draw from different approaches depending on what will support you best.
Welcome clients who may feel uncertain about therapy or have had mixed experiences in the past. You will find me approachable and engaged. We will walk through your challenges together, rather than you feeling like you’re talking into a void.

Further information
I offer a warm, confidential space for individuals, couples, and parents. I have a particular interest in supporting parents and carers of children with additional needs, including non-verbal autism. I understand how caregiving can impact relationships, identity, and emotional well-being, often leading to loneliness or disconnection. Drawing from both professional and personal insight, I provide a space where you can feel heard, supported, and less alone.
I'm not on any social media apart from LinkedIn; therefore provide a safe space.
