Whether you’re navigating relationship difficulties, work-related challenges, or struggling with how you feel or think about yourself, I offer a safe and supportive space to explore this. Together, we can explore the 'why behind the what', to understand how patterns of thinking, feeling, or behaving have developed, while giving you space to talk openly, process painful experiences, and develop tools that support lasting change.

I work with individuals and couples from all walks of life. People come to therapy for many different reasons – perhaps something has happened which you're struggling to make sense of, a relationship has changed, you've experienced a loss, or you feel that something in life isn't quite as you'd like it to be. My role isn't to tell you how you should feel or what you may need to change. It's to offer a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and decide what moving forward looks like for you.

Feeling stressed, tense or worried at certain times in life is a normal human response. For some people, anxiety becomes overwhelming and persists to the point that fear significantly impacts daily life which can lead to low mood and low self-esteem. Anxiety can also develop into more specific areas such as social anxiety, panic attacks or OCD. If you experience any of these and would like to learn to manage your symptoms then I can help. I have experience and I am qualified to treat people with Long Term Health Conditions and also have significant expertise in treating Depression, Specific Phobias, Health Anxiety and PTSD.

There is no one way of living, and we will all find ourselves faced with challenges along the way. Sometimes, the help of an outside source can enable us to view things in a different light or explore in more depth, which is where counselling can be beneficial. I am a Person-centred counsellor working in an integrative way, as I believe no two people are ever the same, so how can a counselling approach be? For that reason, my approach may differ depending on who I am working with and their individual needs. I love meeting people from all walks of life, and it is a true privilege to play a small role in their journey through life.

I am interested in working with complex emotional and relational difficulties and trauma, supporting people to heal from the lasting impact of adverse experiences and to move towards recovery and fulfil their potential. I am also passionate about improving access to services for marginalised populations. Over time, my professional and personal journey has shaped how I view emotional distress. Rather than asking “what is wrong with you?”, I ask “what has happened to you?”. This shift allows me to see beyond presenting problems to the person behind the distress. It also enables me to bring kindness and compassion into my work.
