About me

Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving you stuck, anxious, or unsure about what comes next. You don’t have to face this alone. I’m here to offer a warm, compassionate, and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you—unpacking what’s holding you back and helping you find clarity, balance, and a path forward. My approach is integrative, meaning I draw on different therapeutic methods, including Transactional Analysis, CBT, Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailoring our work to your unique needs.

I work with a range of issues, including anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, addiction, phobias, stress, life transitions (such as menopause), disability, and experiences of abuse. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific concern or a space to understand yourself better, I’m here to support you.

Sessions are available for adults, offered face-to-face, online, or by telephone—flexible to suit your lifestyle and comfort.

Taking that first step can feel daunting, but reaching out is an act of strength. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you.

I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate your needs. I can offer weekly or fortnightly sessions based on what suits you best.

Further information

Counselling can help you make sense of your feelings, understand difficult experiences, and guide you in your personal growth. I offer an integrative approach, combining Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, and Transactional Analysis (TA) to support your journey.

Person-Centered Therapy empowers you to make authentic choices about your life, with my role being to provide a non-judgmental, compassionate space where you can explore and understand yourself better.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Using techniques like graded exposure, thought diaries, and psychoeducation, we will work together to help you develop strategies to improve your well-being.

Transactional Analysis (TA) looks at how we interact with others and the roles we subconsciously play. I’ll help you identify and change any unhelpful patterns in your relationships, fostering healthier, more balanced connections with others.
