About me
You may have been thinking about counselling for a while but haven’t known where to start. Perhaps you feel stuck in the same patterns, repeating situations you’d rather move on from. You might be struggling with anxiety or panic attacks, feeling weighed down by depression, or finding it hard to cope with the effects of stress and burnout.
Some people come to me because of relationship problems or difficulties around self-esteem and confidence. Others are dealing with the impact of trauma, abuse, or addiction, and want a safe space to begin making sense of what has happened. You may be looking for support around men’s issues or LGBTQIA+ identity. Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to carry it alone.
Therapy provides a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what’s going on for you. Together we can explore your thoughts and feelings, process your experiences, and work out practical steps toward change.
Book yourself in for a free consultation to see how counselling could support you.
My Values
Over the years, I’ve worked in both a low-cost counselling agency and a prestigious residential rehab, giving me the privilege of supporting people from many different walks of life.
What this has shown me is that no two people are the same, so I adjust my approach to fit your individual needs whilst always bringing my authentic self (which includes a sense of humour). What you see is what you get:
- Integrity: I am honest and transparent with you.
- Dedication: You decide when counselling ends. As long as you keep showing up, I will too.
- Collaboration: We work together to find solutions. I can share tools, reflections, or theory, but you remain the expert on your own life.
- Authenticity: I will always come as I am, so you can feel free to do the same.
My Approach
Clients sometimes ask what it’s actually like to sit with me. My hope is that you’ll feel the same trust and ease you might with a close friend, but with the professional boundaries that create a safe therapeutic environment. I will always affirm your experience, because how you feel can never be “wrong.” I then offer gentle reflections and connections, weaving together parts of your story so you can see patterns and make sense of them in new ways.
What you need comes first. Some people prefer to simply talk and be heard; others want me to ask questions and keep the conversation flowing; and some value space and silence to process their thoughts. I meet you where you’re at regardless.
And, lastly, I do believe counselling is about more than just solving problems. It’s about creating a real connection where you can feel truly heard and understood. This means that therapy with me isn’t only for when things go wrong, but is also a place for self-development, reflection, and becoming more of who you want to be.
