About me

I really appreciate how difficult it can feel reaching out and taking these first steps. I want you to know there are so many ways for you to work through what you're struggling with and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. My style is warm and authentic, where I go at your pace and help you to focus on where you want to get to. I offer both a listening ear, as well as practical tools for you to put into practice, so that you feel you're getting the most out of therapy. 

“Scarlett’s kind and calm approach made me feel so comfortable and I always left our sessions feeling empowered and like I was on the right path to rebuilding myself. I could not recommend her enough.”  - client

I support women who:

  • Are done with feeling anxious, burntout and overwhelmed. 
  • Who are ready to let go of fear, doubt and unnecessary worry. 
  • Would love a space to feel supported and grow.
  • Who want to re-connect with their vibrant, colourful, intuitive selves. 
  • Who know the power of their mind and manifestation but just need the right support to show them how.
  • Who are ready to feel calm, regulated and confident.

“Scarlett was my first experience with counselling and what an absolutely incredible person she is! My thoughts were always a mess but she listened, understood them from my perspective and compacted them to summarise exactly what I was trying to articulate. ”

"Scarlett has an incredible amount of knowledge in this field and combines what she knows with a more intuitive, holistic and open minded approach. She helped me to totally change my relationship with myself and I feel so much happier".

I have a wealth of experience in:

  • Anxiety, anxious thinking, panic attacks and OCD 
  • Nervous system regulation 
  • Building your self-esteem and confidence 
  • Navigating relationship break-ups and dating 
  • Grief and loss or navigating family issues
  • Feeling lost and struggling with purpose 

Please note, I specifically work with women over 18. Sessions are online. 

When you can't put it into words...

Lots of people come to counselling without a specific reason. Instead lots of things are adding up and causing them to feel unhappy. This might be things like:

  • Feeling lost, unsettled or like you're "getting life wrong".
  • People pleasing and struggling to put yourself first.
  • Putting lots of pressure on yourself
  • Difficulties understanding or regulating your emotions. 
  • Relationship struggles. 
  • Tough experiences they're trying to process.

So many people feel they have to fit into a certain category to come to counselling. I want to reassure you of that's absolutely not the case.

The way I work... 

I practice several styles of counselling which include humanistic, CBT, and psychodynamic.

To put that in layman's terms, I work with you human-to-human and hold space for you to talk + be understood. But at the same time I'll offer my knowledge and input. 

I know many people are looking for not just a listening ear but practical tools they can put into practice to help them too. 

The most important thing for me as a therapist is that you feel comfortable with me, as I believe the best work happens when you begin to build that trust and feel at ease in the therapy space. It's ok if you feel nervous about this process, that's natural, sometimes it's just about taking the first step and finding a therapist you click with.

I'm passionate about helping people to understand there is absolutely no shame in needing support with thoughts and feelings and that you will likely find so many benefits from it. 

"Scarlett has so much expertise and knowledge from her background in psychology. She is fully trained in counselling and really knows her stuff but offers a really unique approach. I've got so much more from working with her than I have past therapists. Working with her is a combination of psychology, intuition and a female power. 🌈🔮💛"

Meditation App Teacher 

Scarlett is a 7 year private counselling practice owner. She's also a successful teacher on the meditation app Insight Timer. Here are some testimonials from her work:

"This was so helpful and gentle thank you so much! You made the panic attack go away"

"So so good and relevant and much needed Going through some low days this past month And this was reassuring and comforting and motivating Thank you ever so much!"

"Really helpful meditation for lowering anxiety and facing uncertainty. I’m feeling much calmer and more grounded after listening. Thank you!"

"Love your meditations ❤️❤️ So gentle and calming. I really enjoyed this different perspective on 'what ifs' and will definitely use this as a tool for those challenging thoughts. Thank you so much 🙏"

"Out of all the years I’ve been dealing with how anxiety this was the best description of what I’m feeling and how to handle it I have ever heard!"

"I really needed to hear this. I am always going to the worst case scenario."

Outside of 1:1's I run a course on:

  • I work with women who find themselves repeating unhealthy relationship cycles and are ready to free themselves from this pattern.
  • If you are finding yourself in unfulfilling relationships, with partners who are not are great fit, I'm going to teach you everything you need to know across 3 months.
  • Many people tell me they cannot afford to go through the cycle again which is why I felt so passionate to create this type of support. 
    I've helped countless women to develop a deeply connected relationship with themselves and to build healthy boundaries so they can thrive in this area of life. 
  • This will help you to line up with emotionally available partners and to learn everything from what's currently blocking you, what to look for, how to build your self-esteem and how to communicate your needs.

A note on working with me

I am just one human along your ever-evolving journey. One person who may give you a fresh perspective, or help you to see things you did not see before. I do not have all the answers because the answers do not exist outside of yourself. My job is to help you to remember how much you already know deep within you. To help you to wake up to that part of yourself. To no longer look outside of yourself for answers but to be the mirror that helps you look within. 

“Counselling has changed the way I think about things and has genuinely helped me to feel happy, which I never thought I would feel. I am able to open up fully to Scarlett without judgement which, I haven’t felt possible with anyone else before. She has helped me through some of the hardest times in my life and has given me the coping mechanisms to deal with any issues that might occur in the future.” - client

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Testimonials

“Scarlett’s kind and calm approach made me feel so comfortable and I always left our sessions feeling empowered and like I was on the right path to rebuilding myself. I could not recommend her enough.”  - client 

“I’ve seen a lot of therapists in my lifetime, but Scarlett was completely different to anyone I had ever seen. Scarlett is one of the most kind, gentle and non-judgemental therapists I’ve ever come across. I immediately connected with her after our first introductory call, and from then on we went to online sessions - I was worried about this at first because I had never seen a therapist virtually, but I am so glad I let that worry go because it didn’t matter that we were not in the same room, Scarlett understood me and my needs and really helped me understand why my thought patterns were the way they were. I can definitely say (what may sound like a cliche to some) that Scarlett has had a profound effect on my life - without her guidance, expertise and kindness I don’t know where I would be." - client
