Counselling is a creative, very human process. I work with a person centred, integrative approach drawing from a range of counselling modalities. Attunement in the therapeutic relationship is key. This ensures that the counselling process is flexibly designed to meet your needs. Reflecting on one’s deepest issues, life path, pain and joy can be a transformative experience leading to insights and change. Witnessing and facilitating this therapeutic process and positive outcomes for clients is what continually renews my passion for this work. I work with adults, teens and children. For younger children I work with play therapy.

If you have been Impacted by the trauma of family violence, relationship breakdown, anger, work related issues or just life's challenges, it helps to talk through it with someone else and get your life back. Once we understand our reactions, we can better understand how to respond in a healthier way. Some people only need a couple of sessions or for others it could be an ongoing partnership. Whatever brings you to counselling, I am focused on your needs and will work with you in a way that is most appropriate for you.

I use evidence-based therapies such as CBT, ACT, schema therapy, DBT, mindfulness, and family-focused approaches.
My ideal clients are children, adolescents, and adults who feel stuck, misunderstood, or overwhelmed—whether due to learning difficulties, ADHD, autism, anxiety, mood changes, or life transitions. They and their families are seeking clarity, compassion, and a way forward. They want to understand themselves better, improve relationships, and build on their strengths. Their goal is not only relief from distress but also to grow in confidence, resilience, and purpose, creating space for greater joy and meaningful connection in daily life.

I'm a Mental Health Social Worker offering online support for adults and 'walk-and-talk' sessions in Newcastle. You might feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, or perfectionism - constantly doing, but rarely feeling settled or enough. Maybe anxiety, stress, or low self-worth make it hard to connect with yourself or others. I offer a warm, grounded, trauma-informed space to gently explore what’s going on beneath the surface. Together, we’ll work toward more clarity, confidence, and peace in both body and mind - so you can feel like yourself again, or maybe for the first time.

I support women in mid-life to navigate complicated and changing emotions and a world that doesn't always feel like 'home'. Maybe you've been on a quest for self improvement and greater self understanding. You've seen umpteen therapists, read the books, joined the groups, listened to the podcasts. But deep down, something still feels off. Relationships just aren't working, you struggle to express yourself without upsetting people - or you just stay silent - and the weight of old wounds, self-doubt, and a silent ache you can't quite name, continues to linger.
