People attend counselling for all sorts of reasons. For some of us it helps to have someone outside of friends and family to share our thoughts with and reflect on the challenges we face. Counselling can also be a refuge when crisis hits and we need help to understand and process our experiences. Whatever it is that brings you here, I welcome you and offer you space to think and to connect. My approach is warm and grounded. I work integratively, meaning that I draw on a range of counselling approaches and work with you to agree aims and a pace that is supportive.
I specialise in supporting young people and adults experiencing anxiety and relationship difficulties. I am experienced in supporting ADHD, autistic and dyslexic students and professionals, and also in working with creatives from the music, film, gaming, and art and design industries.
Starting counselling can feel like an obvious next step for some and a radical one for others. Wherever you're at, it starts with a conversation and a chance to get to know each other, ask questions, and understand how we might work together. To help with this I offer a 30 minute call or an in-person initial session, whichever feels more comfortable.

I work integratively, meaning that I draw on a range of counselling approaches. Working this way allows me to honour human individuality and difference. It acknowledges that not all of us are easily able to articulate our thoughts or access our emotions, and that different approaches work better for different people. It also allows me to work creatively and use drawing and play within sessions.
