I largely work with young people aged 16-30. I'm a University Counsellor and Specialist Mentor with expertise in anxiety, autism and eating disorders. I also work with under 30s in employment, with issues like managing new jobs/ living situations, low self- esteem, addiction, unexpected pregnancy, the impact of early family dynamics on current relationships, and questions of meaning and purpose in life. I want this to be a space for you to bring whatever's troubling you and find perspective, understanding and relief. When we gain insight into our patterns and question our habitual thoughts and responses, new ways forward can appear.
I’m a qualified therapist & registered member of the BACP with over 15 years experience working with young people. Beyond my therapy Diploma, I've also pursued comprehensive training in supporting those with Autism. I've further experience in Coaching adults, & am currently undergoing Trauma training to understand its impact on our feelings & relationships.
I want our sessions to be a place for you to feel safe enough to bring whatever feels helpful to explore or let go of. I'm open, warm & down to earth. I'd love to talk to you & get a sense of where you're struggling, so please do reach about by email & we'll schedule a free 30 min chat. I currently offer online counselling sessions evenings through the week

I'm committed to non-judgmental and authentic relating to you. I use Gestalt to increase awareness of your bodily sensations, emotions and relationships, by exploring your experience in real time. I'm informed by existential and spiritual approaches to explore purpose and identity. I offer gentle coaching and psycho-education to experiment with habit building and life changes.
