About me
Who we are
At Strive, we believe counselling should feel like a steadying, human space where you can talk openly and be met with warmth, compassion and genuine understanding. Life can feel overwhelming or confusing, and you don’t have to carry that alone.
What Strive offers
Strive is an online counselling service offering accessible, inclusive support for adults across the UK. We’re a team of carefully selected trainee and qualified counsellors, each bringing our own therapeutic modality while sharing a common commitment to empathy, integrity and client-led work.
Our therapeutic styles
Our counsellors draw from a range of approaches, including Person-Centred, Integrative and pluralistic models. This diversity allows us to support different needs and ways of working, helping you connect with someone who feels like the right fit.
Who we support
Whether you’re feeling anxious, low, stuck or simply unsure of your next steps, you’re welcome here. Counselling with Strive is a chance to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing and find a way forward that feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
My background
I am a qualified Person-Centred counsellor with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (PCA) and Accredited Membership with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS Acc). My practice is supported by regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional learning.
How we select counsellors at Strive
All counsellors at Strive, whether qualified or on placement, go through a thorough selection and onboarding process designed to ensure safety, professionalism and high-quality client care.

Our placement counsellors:

If you’re unsure about starting counselling
It’s completely normal to feel uncertain when reaching out for support. You’re welcome to get in touch with any questions — you don’t need to have everything figured out first. Reaching out can feel daunting, but it’s a brave and meaningful first step.
A space shaped around you
Counselling at Strive is grounded, relational and human. We work at your pace, with curiosity and compassion, so you have space to explore whatever feels important.
You don’t have to do this alone
Whatever you’re carrying, we’re here to help you explore it safely and supportively.
If you’d like to talk things through or explore whether Strive feels like the right fit, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
