Beginning counselling can feel like a significant and meaningful step. I offer a safe, supportive space where we can explore your present experiences alongside past events that may still be shaping how you feel and relate to others. Together, we gently work through what may have been held inside—sometimes outside of awareness, yet still affecting your emotional and physical wellbeing. My aim is to support you in gaining clarity, understanding, and a deeper sense of connection within yourself. I tailor my approach to your individual needs, drawing on ongoing professional training to support you in developing ways to navigate moments

Therapy is time set aside by you and the therapist to look at what has brought you to therapy. This might include talking about life events (past and present), feelings, emotions, relationships, ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour. Resilience isn’t about never falling over. It’s about knowing what do to when we do fall over and how we get back up again. I won’t judge you or criticise you.  I work with the uniqueness of each individual client and endeavour to offer a relationship in which you feel heard, accepted, safe and valued.  And collaboratively we will work to make positive changes in your life.

Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, misunderstood by others, or exhausted from constantly holding things together internally. You may struggle with anxiety, relationship difficulties, rejection sensitivity, masking, burnout, or a sense that you don’t fully belong. Perhaps words feel difficult sometimes, or you find yourself deeply feeling things that others seem able to brush aside. Therapy offers a space where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply, feel genuinely seen, and gently unfurl into greater self-acceptance and freedom.

Whatever brings you here, it can be the start of meaningful change. Therapy isn't only for times of crisis. Our life experiences shape the way we feel, relate and move through the world; we don’t always realise the patterns of behaviour we have developed to survive. In therapy, you may wish to explore these long-held beliefs, understanding their origins and assessing their relevance today.

Hello and welcome. I offer a safe and supportive space to explore whatever feels important to you, whether that is thoughts, feelings or difficult life experiences. Using compassionate and somatic inquiry, grounded in mindfulness practice, we work with whatever arises in an accepting and non-judgemental way. Through these explorations we can start to gain insights and clarity into stuck patterns and behaviours which may no longer serve us. In doing so, we give space for new possibilities to emerge in how we live, relate and move through the world, allowing for a greater sense of authenticity, ease and freedom.

Individuals or Couples.You may be my ideal client if you feel anxious, overwhelmed, low in mood, stuck in repeating relationship patterns, or disconnected from yourself. You might experience panic, tension, overthinking, burnout, or shutdown, and want support that goes deeper than coping strategies. I also work with people diagnosed with chronic fatigue who feel drained, misunderstood, or limited by their symptoms. Together, we aim to help you feel calmer, more grounded, emotionally clearer, and more confident in life and relationships.

Talking to someone about things that are making you feel uncomfortable, anxious, or perhaps overwhelmed can help. Sometimes, just saying out loud how you feel can start a process that leads to change and new choices in your life. Thinking, with a counsellor, about the experiences that are making you feel this way can give you the support, the space and insight to find a way through what’s troubling you. I have experience supporting adults who are struggling with aspects of their life such as anxiety, depression, grief, identity, sexuality and self-esteem and I offer a warm and professional place where we can work together.
