My ideal client is an adult experiencing anxiety, emotional distress, or feeling unsettled during a life transition. They may be managing work, relationships, or recovery on the surface while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck internally. Many have a history of complex stress, trauma, or mental health challenges and want support that feels grounded, respectful, and non-judgemental. Their goal is to better understand themselves, feel more emotionally steady, and reconnect with their values and sense of agency.
I offer trauma-informed, person-centred online counselling. My work draws on formal counselling training, extensive frontline experience in mental health and community services, and lived experience of recovery. I support clients to explore patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop practical, meaningful ways of responding to life’s challenges
Reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially if you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. Counselling doesn’t require you to have a clear plan just a willingness to begin. I aim to offer a calm, collaborative space where you can feel heard, supported, and respected as we explore what might help you move forward in a way that feels right to you.

I work in an integrative, person-centred way. This means our sessions are tailored to you rather than following a fixed formula. We may explore the experiences and patterns that have shaped your life, look at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact, and develop practical skills for emotional regulation and coping skills. Throughout our work, the focus is on collaboration.
