At some point, many people find themselves feeling unsettled or weighed down by life. You may be navigating anxiety, relationship strain, separation, or a significant life change, and noticing that things no longer feel manageable in the way they once did. You might not know exactly what you need yet, only that something needs to change. Perhaps you’re tired of holding it all together alone or repeating patterns that don’t shift. You’re looking for clarity, steadiness, and calm support that helps you feel understood, capable and empowered to move forward in a way that feels right for you.
I offer calm, practical counselling for individuals and couples in a supportive, non-judgemental space. My work is grounded in a Person-Centred approach, drawing on evidence-based therapies such as CBT, ACT, and Gottman-informed principles for couples. I support you to better understand patterns, build confidence, and make changes at a pace that feels right.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. Counselling can be a place to slow things down, feel understood, and reconnect with your own strengths. If you’re seeking thoughtful, grounded support to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity, you’re warmly invited to reach out when it feels right.

Having worked as a family lawyer for 20 years, I bring a depth of insight that strongly enhances my work as a counsellor. Supporting clients through high conflict situations means I have a clear, realistic understanding of what my clients are facing emotionally, psychologically, and practically.
