We all want to feel better but sometimes that is not enough, we need to be doing better in real terms in the real world. While talking about our problems can provide some relief people need more than that. I work only with approaches that get real results for people. If change is what you need and you are ready for that, then this approach is the first positive step.

I enjoy working across the life-course, and have a strong interest in anxiety, in children's mental health, and LGBTIQA+ mental health.
I work with all ages. I know that counselling can support individuals to better understand themselves, to identify what is and is not working for them, and to make positive changes to increase happiness and wellbeing. I have worked with clients struggling with emotional expression, anxiety, depression, OCD, gender and sexuality, neurodivergence, trauma and children with behaviour and anxiety struggles. Each individual is the expert in their own lives and has within them the capacity for growth and healing, but I know that sometimes it can be helpful to have someone walking alongside, supporting the development of insights.

Are you or someone you care about struggling? Depressive symptoms, persistent feelings of emptiness, anxiety, overwhelm, intrusive thoughts? Or perhaps you are worried about your child’s mental health and development. Life doesn’t come with a manual, and it definitely doesn’t always go to plan, but counselling can help you to overcome issues and upsetting events to live a life of optimism, resilience and meaning.
