Life can become overwhelming, leaving you anxious, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward. You don’t have to face it alone. My approach is gentle, supportive, and trauma-informed, offering a calm space to pause and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore your experiences, build practical coping tools, and begin the process of healing and rediscovering a sense of balance and hope. Therapy with me is collaborative and centred around what matters most to you — your values, your goals, and your pace. It’s about creating lasting change that feels both empowering and authentic to who you are.
Whilst I am a qualified and experienced counsellor, I am first and foremost human. I work in this space as I am a believer in being the change I want to see in the world. My journey has included 20 years experience working in a range of mental health settings as well as being in private practice as a counsellor since 2019. My best teachers are my clients.
I offer a patient, compassionate, and understanding space for individuals to receive support and reduce distress in their lives. With both personal and professional experiences, I feel well-equipped to guide people on their unique journeys — helping them feel empowered, less stuck, and more motivated to move forward.
