About me
Hello, and welcome, I am a qualified and accredited therapist and counselling supervisor offering a safe and confidential space to explore the challenges life can bring such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, addiction, and grief.
My approach is warm, non-judgemental and collaborative. I draw from a range of evidence-based therapies including Person-Centred, CBT, Psychodynamic, and Solution-Focused approaches, always tailoring the process to suit your unique needs and goals and individuality.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck or seeking personal growth, I'm here to support you. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface, identify helpful strategies and work towards creating positive, lasting change.
I’ve had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds, and I bring deep empathy, lived understanding, and a genuine commitment to inclusivity into every session.
You don’t have to face things alone, change is possible and I’m here to help you move forward.
