Life can be hard sometimes. Most people who contact me aren't broken or looking to be "fixed". They're often doing their best to cope with situations that would challenge anyone.
I work with teenagers and young adults, people living with chronic illness, those navigating miscarriage and infant loss, carers experiencing burnout, and anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges. Many of my clients are tired of carrying so much on their own and are looking for a space where they can be themselves without judgment.
My approach is warm, genuine, and conversational. Counselling with me isn't about sitting across from someone who quietly nods and asks, "How does that make you feel?" all session. I believe the best conversations involve curiosity, reflection, perspective, practical support, and sometimes even a little humour.
Some of these areas are particularly close to my heart. Alongside my professional training, I bring personal experience with chronic illness, miscarriage, and carer burnout. This work isn't just a job to me. If you're going through a difficult season and would like support from someone who genuinely cares, I'd be honoured to walk alongside you.
