Life gets messy sometimes. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, low, burnt out, or weighed down by old stuff that won’t shift. It might be ADHD, stress, relationships or just that stuck feeling that’s hard to put into words. What you really want is a bit more calm, more confidence, and to feel like yourself again. I offer counselling that’s down to earth and easy to get along with. I also provide supportive, reflective supervision for counsellors and trainees.

Ever feel like you're just about keeping it together — stuck in the same patterns, overwhelmed, or quietly struggling in a way that's hard to put into words? You're not alone, and you don't have to keep managing it on your own. I work with adults feeling anxious, low, or stuck — especially during big life changes like early parenthood or those seasons of life where everything shifts at once. A lot of the people I work with are trying to do things a bit differently — to understand themselves better, break cycles that have been passed down through generations, and find healthier ways of coping and relating.

It can sometimes seem worrying to share your deepest, most personal thoughts and feelings. I'm here to offer a warm, welcoming and confidential therapeutic space to individuals and couples, where you will have your time to talk and where hopefully we can build a trusting therapeutic relationship, one in which you can feel comfortable to share your worries and thoughts. Every client and every therapeutic process is different and I will always value you as a unique individual, with the utmost respect for the journey you have navigated and the place you find yourself in now. I also work with Aviva or Bupa health insurance clients.
