Life can be difficult, however, there are times when difficulties and feelings become overwhelming and everything seems like a struggle. Having a capable ally alongside you who is impartial, warm and honest can be what’s needed to recognise and shift out of unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. Living in this world can't always be safe but I believe we are meant to feel safe in our bodies and our sense of who we are. Rather than 'fixing' problems, focusing on being 'better' or even happier, we can develop our sense of security, wholeness and worth, increasing our ability to navigate life's challenges.

Life’s experiences can at times feel overwhelming and confusing, particularly when you are trying to make sense of what is happening and move forward with clarity. In a world that can often feel fast-paced and impersonal, it is natural to seek understanding, reassurance, and a sense of steadiness.

Confused about where you're at in life or what's next? Want to be more open and engaged in relationships? My aim is to help you get to know yourself better and move you forward from where you might feel stuck. Everyone is different and counselling is not a 'one size fits all' approach. Managing life's difficulties thrown upon us can be challenging in many ways, but I will be alongside you every step of the way. Through our relationship I will help you unravel your thoughts and feelings but I ask for self-compassion; it may be bumpy.

Do you have that feeling that life is becoming too much? Or maybe you feel your mood is low and you dont know why.

Sometimes life can feel like a real struggle. Are your thoughts and feelings reducing your enjoyment of life and your relationships with those around you? Maybe you are experiencing stress or a ‘stuckness’; feelings of anxiety, uncertainty and overwhelm; perhaps you are living with a recent or past loss or relationship difficulties; or is it that a lack of purpose or direction in life is dragging you down? I am an integrative therapist which means that I use elements of different psychological ideas to inform the most appropriate way of working with you. A background in the creative arts enriches and supports my practice.

Before I tell a little about myself, allow me to say, well done for getting this far! I appreciate that many people become a little anxious at the prospect of an intense atmosphere in a counselling room. Thats not how I work though. My first aim is to help you relax. To see that yes, it is a 'safe and confidential environment for you to talk about anything that you want'. But there's no need for it to be a heavy and intense atmosphere either. I believe we can be practical, pragmatic and make some real changes without sacrificing empathy or compassion.

Sometimes issues and experiences build up in life, or we somehow lose our way. Or something happens that is outside of our control and we get thrown by it. When we reach out and speak about what is bothering us it gives us the opportunity to 'get out from under the experience', to make sense of what we are feeling and why we might be feeling that. This brings the possibility of using our current and past experiences and states to explore what in all of that might be useful for us, to move and to grow and flourish.

I am known as both Miranda and Millie - you are welcome to call me by either name.
My work is rooted in deep respect for each person’s innate wisdom and capacity for change under the right conditions.
I offer a calm, steady environment where clients feel safe enough to explore the parts of themselves they may have hidden, silenced, or left misunderstood.
Rather than “fixing,” I walk alongside — helping untangle patterns, soften self-judgment, and build emotional resilience. Through curiosity, honesty and compassion, I support clients in reconnecting with their own clarity, strength, and sense of possibility.

Have you experienced narcissistic abuse, coercive control or domestic violence? Perhaps you are trying to recover from a narcissistic parent or partner, but are struggling with symptoms like low self esteem, anxiety, constant overthinking and self-analysing?

I work with adults who have a sense that something isn’t quite right, even when life looks fine on the outside. They often second-guess themselves, replay conversations, feel responsible for others, or notice the same patterns showing up in their relationships and in how they see themselves. Many have spent years trying to “figure themselves out” but still feel stuck or unsure of who they are. In therapy, we slow things down, make sense of these patterns, and build a more understanding, compassionate relationship with yourself, so life feels more like your own.
