My ideal client is someone who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected — someone who knows they want something to change in their life but isn’t quite sure how to begin. They may be navigating anxiety, grief, low self-worth, relationship or family conflict, or simply struggling with the weight of everyday life. Often, they have spent a lot of time “keeping it all together” for others and are now starting to recognise the need to prioritise themselves. Their goals may vary — some want to feel less anxious, others want to heal from past trauma, strengthen relationships, or rediscover their sense of identity.
As a Level 2 ACA-accredited Counsellor, I offer a warm, supportive, and confidential space where you can explore what’s going on for you without fear of judgment. My approach is person-centred, meaning I tailor each session to your unique needs, experiences, and pace. You are the expert in your life — I’m here to walk alongside you and support you.
I know that reaching out for support can feel daunting — especially if you’re used to carrying things on your own. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just unsure of where to start, please know you don’t have to face it alone. This space is for you — to be heard, to feel supported, and to explore whatever you’re carrying at a pace that feels right.
