It may be daunting for you to consider the first steps of counselling, but my aim is to help you to feel safe enough to talk openly about things you might find difficult and to provide a non-judgmental, safe and confidential place to start your journey. I can help you to clarify your thoughts, feelings & emotions so you may be better equipped to make more conscious choices that can improve the quality of your life and well-being. Whether it's addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma or self-esteem, my goal is to empower clients to develop effective coping strategies and build resilience.

Life can be hard at times. You might be feeling overwhelmed. Or you might have lost your sense of connection and purpose in life. I offer a supportive relationship where you can talk through your challenges. It could be a difficult life situation, or how you feel day to day. Counselling is a space for you, and we can explore what you need together. I’m a humanistic counsellor. My approach is collaborative. You would decide what to explore, I’d be alongside to help you make sense of your challenges. I work with openness and empathy, and hope to ease any anxieties about starting counselling.

You might look like you’re coping. Holding things together at work, in friendships or family life. But underneath, it can feel very different. You may feel stuck in patterns in relationships, caught in rumination or regret, or questioning yourself. There can be a quiet sense that something isn’t quite right, or that something about you is flawed. You might long for closeness but feel anxious or unsure how to trust it. Often, this connects back to earlier attachment wounds or emotional neglect, leaving you disconnected from yourself, unsure what you need, and tired of repeating the same patterns.

You might look capable, calm, and in control on the outside — while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or under pressure to hold everything together. I work with adults who are used to coping and carrying responsibility for others, yet struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, burnout, relationship difficulties, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Therapy offers a space to step out of survival mode and begin understanding the emotional patterns shaping how you relate, cope, and carry responsibility.

Hello, all are welcome. Anxiety, stress, depression and anger can creep up on us or appear quite suddenly. Sometimes life just gets too hard and we cannot cope. You may not even know why you feel the way you do, even so, talking with someone impartial can really help. I believe that mental health is no different to physical health in that systems can become unbalanced and give us problems. Support from a Counsellor can help to rebalance your mind. You may feel unsure but I encourage you to come and meet me, then see how you feel.
