About me

I am a qualified, compassionate Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Hypnotherapist and am dedicated to supporting people through life challenges. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self esteem, fears and phobias or relationship difficulties, I provide a calm and supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

You're welcome to choose between in person sessions in my peaceful garden therapy room or remote sessions from the comfort of your own space, whichever feels right for you. Either way, you'll find a safe, non judgemental and confidential environment tailored to your needs.

Counselling - I work from a Pluralistic approach recognising that no single method works for everyone. Drawing from a range of therapeutic models, I adapt our sessions to suit your unique needs, preferences and goals - because I believe therapy should meet you where you are.

Hypnotherapy - is a gentle, therapeutic approach that helps you access your subconscious mind to create positive change. By guiding you into a relaxed state, I can help you address a range of issues such as stress, anxiety, fears, phobia's, past trauma, low self esteem and lots in between. It is a safe and effective way to explore deep rooted concerns and make lasting improvements in your life, all while you remain fully in control.

Counselling and Hypnotherapy Services Offered

I offer in person or online sessions, short term and long term, flexible appointment times, pluralistic, person centred approach.
