Counselling can be really helpful when you're dealing with tough emotions like stress, anxiety, sadness, confusion, or anger. It’s also useful when something just feels off, but you're not quite sure what it is. I offer a warm, kind, and compassionate space where you can talk through your thoughts and feelings, helping you make sense of them. Whether we're looking at big challenges or small worries, there's always something valuable you can discover about yourself.

I've always been really curious about people, their stories, and the emotions that make us who we are. As a natural listener, this interest has led me to a career in counselling. I’m here with no judgment or assumptions, just a genuine desire to understand and support you.

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel like a huge decision, and it's completely okay to feel a mix of emotions about it. Please know that reaching out for support is an act of courage, and you don’t have to go through things alone. It is a positive step towards understanding yourself better and taking care of your wellbeing.

Before becoming a qualified counsellor, I worked in support roles where I used counselling skills to help people overcome challenges. I still do this alongside my counselling practice today, as I'm passionate about supporting others in any way I can.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Humanistic

"

My approach is grounded in the humanistic modality, which emphasises the belief that everyone has the potential for personal growth and an ability to make positive changes in their lives. Humanistic counselling recognizes that we are all unique and capable of overcoming challenges with the right support. I also draw upon other skills such as CBT, Internal Family Systems and Transactional Analysis.
