My journey into counselling began as a personal quest for healing . Through that journey, I discovered a profound passion for supporting others to navigate their own paths towards healing and resilience. In my practice, I offer a safe , supportive space where trauma survivors can explore their experiences, express their emotions, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. With empathy and understanding, I walk alongside my clients as they work through the complexities of trauma, offering support, guidance, and evidence-based techniques to facilitate healing and growth.

Human Givens Therapy blends elements of many of the most effective therapeutic models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Person-Centered Counselling, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Interpersonal Therapy & Guided Imagery and Hypnotherapy.
With a specialism in burnout and trauma, particularly where these show up through nervous system dysregulation - including sleep difficulties, loss of confidence, OCD and ADHD, I offer a qualification in both psychotherapy and coaching, which allows me to adjust our work together according to where you are at and what you need.
Are you experiencing a loss of confidence in your personal or professional life? Trying to navigate a change and finding it bewildering? Overwhelmed by life and concerned about burn out? Struggling to sustain self-belief through a tricky patch? Preoccupied with perfectionism? Sleep difficulties maybe?

Sometimes life calls for a place to slow down, speak freely, and feel met without judgement. You may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally stuck—carrying experiences from earlier in life that continue to shape how you feel, think, or relate to others. You might notice patterns repeating, struggle with anxiety or low mood, or find it difficult to understand or express what you’re feeling. You don’t need all the answers—just a sense that something within you needs space, care, and attention.
