As a Registered Nurse and Registered Counsellor, I bring a unique blend of clinical nursing knowledge and compassionate, person-centred approach to support my counselling work. I can provide support knowing that physical health challenges often carry emotional, psychological, and spiritual changes.
I bring a calm, compassionate and holistic approach to my counselling. I value trust, safety, and a genuine connection, creating a space where you can explore your experiences.
I have experience supporting individuals navigating illness, recovery, and life transitions, including those affected by cancer and other complex health conditions. I am gentle, respectful, and grounded in evidence-based practice, whilst also recognising the importance of meaning, a connection, and inner resilience.
I work alongside you at your pace, whether you are seeking support with anxiety, adjustment, grief, fatigue, or simply feeling overwhelmed. Together, we can explore ways to help you feel more supported, more connected to yourself, and better able to navigate what you are facing. You don’t have to do this alone. I am here to listen and support you.
