I believe that any struggle in your life has a reason. I focus on uncovering the root of these challenges rather than just easing symptoms. By exploring the experiences and traumas that shape your thoughts and emotions, we work together to understand, accept, and heal. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can process your experiences at your own pace. I see true success not just as feeling better temporarily, but as reaching a point where past wounds are acknowledged, resolved, and integrated into your life in a healthy way. I guide you through healing with ca I guide you through healing with care and empathy.

I offer face-to-face, remote and telephone counselling.
I am a qualified counsellor with a range of experience working with adults, adolescents and children. I have worked with various difficulties, to include anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, self-harm, anger management, OCD, trauma, abuse, ADD/ADHD and autism, gender and sexuality, relationship difficulties, loss of identity and low self-esteem/confidence, to name but a few. Most clients are looking to identify and explore their difficulties in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space. Sadly, for many, counselling is the first time they feel truly heard.

I have weekday and evening availability for in-person and online sessions.
Taking the first step toward seeking counselling can feel both daunting and courageous. It often means acknowledging that something in your life isn't working the way you'd like, and you're ready to make a change. This decision is a powerful one, marking the beginning of a journey toward healing, growth, and greater self-understanding. Reaching out for support is not a sign of weakness but of strength, as it shows you're ready to take control of your mental and emotional well-being.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, relationships with others, feeling isolated or alone in relationships, feeling never ‘good enough’ or battling with addiction this could be due to your attachment pattern. How we view ourself in relation to others and the world around us affects us in everyday life. I am a qualified BA (hons) Integrative Counsellor and supervisor. I draw from different theories such as Humanistic, CBT and Psychodynamic including attachment, which enables me to tailor every session specifically for each individual. I have many years experience working for the NHS and in private practice.

Do you ever feel caught in endless loops of overthinking or intrusive thoughts that feel too intense to ignore? Maybe you find yourself replaying conversations, double-checking decisions, or searching for certainty that never comes. OCD can make you question everything, convincing you that your thoughts say something terrible about who you are. It’s exhausting, you end up living in your head instead of your life. Working with me means having a calm, non-judgmental space where you can learn skills to quiet anxiety, loosen OCD’s grip, and move toward the life you want.
