As an integrative counsellor, I tailor my approach to each individual’s unique needs, experiences, and capabilities. We all develop our own way of being, shaped by our family dynamics, life events, and personal strengths. I draw on a range of therapeutic methods — including grief and bereavement work, creative and art-based therapies, behavioural approaches, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Transactional Analysis — to provide support that truly fits you. You may be wondering, “How can I be helped?” Together, we will explore your experiences and challenges, using supportive techniques to help you navigate difficulties.

Hello and welcome - I am an experienced, BACP registered person-centred therapist offering counselling in-person or via secure video call. I have extensive experience supporting adults and young people across NHS, educational, and hospice settings, experiencing anxiety, trauma, OCD, bereavement and depression. Sometimes, past experiences or upcoming challenges can feel overwhelming, leaving us feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward. This can lead to feelings of anxiety, low mood, and emotional difficulties that may prevent us from living the life we truly want.

Many of the people who come to therapy are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that are difficult to shift alone. Some are navigating the impact of past experiences, while others are struggling in relationships, managing stress, or facing significant life changes. Often, they are thoughtful people who have been coping for a long time but are ready to understand themselves more deeply. In therapy, we take time to make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, helping clients gain insight, develop healthier ways of responding to challenges, & move towards a life that feels more balanced and manageable.

You look like you're coping. From the outside you keep going, stay busy, take responsibility. Underneath, something isn't right. Maybe you feel on edge. Shut down. Irritable. Disconnected from yourself and the people closest to you. Perhaps you're leaning on habits that take the edge off in the moment but leave you feeling worse afterwards. You want more than coping. You want to understand what's actually driving these patterns, feel steadier in yourself, and live with more ease. I work with men who are ready to stop white-knuckling life and start relating to themselves differently.

You’re holding it all together. And you’re exhausted. On paper your life looks successful. You’re capable, responsible and the one everyone relies on. But inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious and stretched too thin. Your brain never really switches off. You lie awake at night overthinking conversations or replaying the day. There never seem to be enough hours. You’re juggling work, home and everyone else’s needs while quietly running on empty, wondering why everything feels harder than it should. You can’t keep going like this.

Do you feel you need someone to talk to, but just don’t know how? I may be able to help. I offer Person Centred counselling in a relaxed and welcoming space. Reaching out can be difficult and often daunting. I believe providing a non-judgemental, confidential space is key to building a trusting relationship. It is important to me that you feel safe to explore your feelings in your own time. My approach is natural and humanistic. Therapy doesn’t always have to be an overly clinical experience. Treating my clients as human beings, without judgement is my priority. Please note I am currently on annual leave until 8/6/26
