So many of us face difficult and painful circumstances during our lives – and it can be beneficial to seek support to help process those experiences. Finding a counsellor you feel comfortable with and are able to talk to is vital. I have worked with people who have faced a range of different challenges; Our sessions together enable my clients to safely process feelings and experiences they are struggling with, allowing them to develop their ability to recognise and embrace their own needs and improve their well-being. I can provide a confidential space where you are able to explore difficulties at your own pace.

A few examples are, clients living with Anxiety, Depression, Loss/Bereavement; those who are navigating an ADHD/Autism diagnosis and the impact on daily life; people working through miscarriage/baby loss, gender confusion/acceptance, relationship conflict or difficulties.
Feel free to contact me for a free 15 minute consultation, to see if I am the right fit for you. I am a warm and friendly individual who offers a safe space for you to be heard. I believe it is often better to work through life's problems together than alone. I have had the privilege of working with many different people, helping them in their time of difficulty, and holding the hope for them, until they are able to take it back for themselves. I currently have evening availability for new clients. Take a moment to view my website and how I can work with you.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in repeating patterns, or carrying emotions that have never been fully heard or understood. In individual therapy, I offer a space where you can explore your inner world with openness and curiosity. Together we can begin to make sense of these experiences, bringing attention to the parts of yourself that may have been hidden, silenced, or pushed aside. This process can help you understand long standing patterns, reconnect with your inner clarity, and develop a deeper and more compassionate relationship with yourself.

In troubling times it can sometimes feel like you are alone & seeking help might feel really difficult. Just having a space to make sense of the thoughts that jumble around our heads is invaluable. Perhaps you need to understand yourself, your relationships or events from your past. Sometimes all we need is someone to just listen and hear our story. Counselling promotes insight, fosters self-awareness & creates a stronger, more resilient sense of self. This powerful combination can be the kick-start for the changes in your life you wish to make - sometimes even the smallest changes can make a huge difference in your well-being.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone. Life’s challenges can leave us feeling lost or disconnected from ourselves. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can be heard without judgement. Together, we can gently make sense of what you’re experiencing, build helpful ways of coping, and support you in reconnecting with what matters most to you. When you feel ready, we can begin to move forward—at your pace—towards a place that feels more settled, meaningful, and hopeful.

Perhaps anxiety, low mood, or ongoing stress are taking up more space in your life than you’d like.
I work integratively and relationally, adapting therapy to you rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. My work is trauma-informed and client-led, with experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, and burnout. I pay close attention to pace, safety, and what feels manageable.
