Addiction Counselling in Bournemouth
Past traumas haunts us, while the unpredictable future worries us - living in the present becomes increasingly more difficult. The constant that we can rely on is change. My aim is to help you take control of the change that you want to make, to claim the life you want for yourself, to find your meaning in your life, and live it as fully as possible.
Many of the people I work with have spent years trying to understand why they continue to feel unsafe, fragmented, disconnected or stuck despite previous work and interventions. I aim to meet you exactly where you are at and together we can take the steps towards your goals and needs.

Are you or your child finding it difficult to cope with life’s challenges? At times, we can all face situations that affect our mental health. You or your child may be experiencing thoughts or behaviours that cause confusion, distress, or harm. Experiences such as bullying, feeling out of place, or struggling with social and cultural expectations can have a profound impact on wellbeing, sometimes leading to anxiety, low mood, or other mental health difficulties. I understand that seeking help can feel daunting, and my aim is to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you or your child can feel at ease.

My life journey has given me extensive experience in the symptoms, thoughts and feelings around PTSD, anxiety, depression, alcohol misuse, guilt, loss, suicide.
Mental health is a vital part of our overall well-being, yet it's often shrouded in misconceptions and stigma. Living with anxiety, depression, or stress-related disorders can be overwhelming, affecting every aspect of life. I'm here to offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your feelings and concerns. As a qualified counsellor, I'll work with you at your pace, supporting you in your journey towards better mental health. My approach is grounded in empathy, active listening, and understanding, allowing you to gain insight and develop positive coping strategies.

You may appear to be coping on the outside, yet internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, low, or emotionally exhausted. Perhaps you are carrying the impact of trauma, loss, relationship difficulties, or a persistent sense that something is not quite right. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, yet tired of managing alone. Therapy offers a space to pause, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and begin to move forward with greater clarity.

Society presents significant challenges for individuals with diverse gender identities, sexualities, and neurodevelopmental differences. I create a safe and affirming environment that fosters self-compassion, empowering you to be open to and curious about all aspects of yourself. We will actively confront and dismantle the damaging effects of heteronormative, cisnormative, and ableist influences through increased acceptance, to reduce shame and self-abandonment, fostering a stronger connection to yourself and help you find your tribe. I offer Acceptance Counselling and integrate DBT, CBT, EFT, IFS to process trauma and invalidation.

You might feel weighed down by shame, guilt, or the sense that you’re never enough. Perhaps this shows up as anxiety, overthinking, exhaustion, or repeating painful relationship patterns. You may notice yourself stuck in cycles of burnout, intrusive thoughts, or emotional numbness, wondering why you can’t just “move on.” Deep down you may long for relief, self-trust, and the freedom to live more fully, but trying to explore this alone possibly feels overwhelming. Ideally, you'd want a space where you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.
