About me

A warm welcome to my corner of support. Taking a step towards counselling can feel daunting, but i am glad you are here. You might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, uncertain or just not like yourself; i am here and you don't have to be facing it alone. I am a qualified counsellor with a background in Early Education and Childcare, a degree in Teaching Music/Conducting, and specialised diplomas in Counselling, including one focusing on Children and Young people. I strive to offer my warmth, knowledge and understanding.

It is really important to me to create a non-judgmental, welcoming environment where you feel heard and respected. I believe, that being heard and understood is the first step in encouraging you to embark on your personal journey. I offer empathy and safety to explore anything that you would like to bring to our safe space. I will try my utmost to guide you towards self-discovery and growth, making each step feel both natural and meaningful.

I offer counselling to children, teenagers and adults.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
