If you're feeling down, anxious, stuck or seeking something more from life - a sense of purpose, connection, or change - I can help. I’ve been one of these people too. Whether you’re struggling with grief, depression, self-esteem, anxiety, or life transitions, I understand from my own experience what it is like. I can help you discover who you really are and break free from the patterns that hold you back so that you can start living a life that feels authentic and fulfilling - one that you want to get out of bed for each day.
As someone with both lived experience of mental illness and a Masters in Counselling, I blend real-life understanding with practical therapy that works. Having successfully made it through my own internal struggles and external setbacks, I know that the journey can be painful and difficult, and I am here to listen and offer help.
Starting or resuming therapy can be a scary step - you might ask: Will this person listen to me? Will I match with them? I believe it is important to find someone that you gel with and that you feel comfortable talking to. I offer a fifteen minute free chat so you can see if you would like to book a counselling session with me.

I use a basis of person-centred therapy with other therapies depending on what you need and what works best for you. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. The first session will explore the issue(s) and discuss the most appropriate ways to help you. I am accredited and experienced in the therapies listed.
