About me

Thank you for clicking on my profile. My hope for you, if you chose me as your counsellor, is that you feel comfortable and relaxed in our sessions to explore whatever has brought you to counselling and that you leave feeling lifted and focused. While starting therapy may feel daunting I want our sessions to be something you look forward to, as a chance to tell your story, deepen your self awareness, be heard and feel understood.

I can offer an empathic and non-judgemental approach and I have years of experience working with neurodiverse and neurotypical clients. I work with ages 13 years upwards. I warmly welcome clients from the LGBTQIA+ communities.

Whatever brings you to counselling, whether you are dealing with anxiety, trauma, or low mood, for example, as an Integrative counsellor we can work together to make use a variety of counselling methodologies to help you explore your deeper issues and concerns. Sessions can be open ended or time limited with specific goals to work towards, depending on what works for you and at a pace that suits you.

Because it's important to find the right therapist, I offer a free 15 minute phone call or Zoom call to introduce myself and find out more about you, what your needs are and most importantly, its a chance for you to consider if we could work together well. Please feel free to drop me an e mail or a text to get started.
