You may be struggling with others' or your own expectations, and wondering how your own values and priorities fit in. You may be wondering what really matters to you, or feel at a point of crisis, needing to make changes, or be facing challenging life events. Whatever it may be, I provide a safe space for you to show up, exactly as you are, without fear of judgement, so that together we can start to make sense of what’s holding you back from what you really need. I work with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief & loss, and family issues. My practice is neurodivergent and trans/LGBTQI+ affirmative.
I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor providing individual counselling in-person in York, and/or online/telephone/email sessions as needed. I work from an integrative/person-centred perspective - putting you at the heart of our work. I encourage you to find your own strength and solutions, aligned with your own values, enhancing your self-worth.
I would love to have the opportunity to work with you. I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental environment in which you are invited to explore whatever is holding you back or proving hard to navigate. My approach is one of collaboration with you, noticing your strengths, supporting you in areas where you struggle, helping you to see new ways forward.

Many of my clients are dealing with late identifying or diagnosis of some aspect of neurodivergence, many working through the challenges of dual or more complex identification. Several clients I work with are from the LGBTQ community. I work collaboratively with clients, identifying their challenges, needs and preferences to support greater self-understanding and self-worth.

I offer a flexible approach to adjust how we work to suit your preferences. This may be solely talking, or incorporating writing/drawing/using set reading, accommodating neurodivergent and other needs. For some, we may explore how your experience has shaped you. For others, identifying new ways of coping will be our focus. My approach is rooted in working in ways that work for you.
