So often clients' unhelpful experiences of therapy are attributed to their therapist being "silent", "difficult to connect with" or (at worst) "like a brick wall". The psychologically informed, dedicated and authentic experience I deliver requires me to be active, present and, primarily, something resembling an authentic human being whom I hope you will trust and feel at ease with. You will have the time and space to talk (without awkward silences!) and where desired, I can share with you knowledge/theory acquired from 10 years clinical experience, to help us collaboratively explore, enlighten and enhance your lived experience.

Many men find it difficult to open up about trauma—whether it’s related to childhood experiences, relationships, violence, loss, or deeply buried emotional wounds.
Past experiences can shape how we feel, think, and behave—sometimes for years after the events themselves. If you’re a man carrying the weight of trauma, you may be struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or flashbacks. You might feel stuck, frustrated, or caught in patterns that no longer serve you. You're not alone—and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself. I provide a safe, confidential space to explore and make sense of what happened to you, without judgment. Together, we’ll work to manage the emotional and physical impact of trauma, and rebuild your confidence, clarity, and ability to cope.

I believe in the power of growth and self-discovery. My approach to counselling isn’t just about coping day to day, it’s about helping you understand yourself on a deeper level, so you can move forward with clarity and a sense of your self worth. You might be feeling anxious, burnt out, or disconnected from others. Maybe social situations feel overwhelming, or you struggle to express yourself and be truly seen. Perhaps work is draining your energy, leaving you exhausted and unfulfilled. Or maybe you don’t quite know why you feel stuck, you just know something needs to change.

I know what it’s like to feel unseen, misunderstood, or like you don’t quite fit into the boxes society expects of you. Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety that feels like it’s always buzzing in the background, or depression that makes even the simplest tasks feel impossible. Perhaps you’re navigating the challenges of being neurodivergent in a world that isn’t always accommodating, or exploring your identity in a way that feels both liberating and daunting. Whatever brings you here, I want you to know this: you don’t have to face it alone.

Counselling can be helpful for a variety of different difficulties such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, loss and many more.
Having several years' experience working with adults, children and young people, I can offer support to a wide age range from 13+. Reaching out for support can be incredibly overwhelming and scary. It’s very important to me to try and make this as simple and accessible as possible. I qualified as a counsellor in 2019 and have worked within mental health for over 5 years, in the charity and voluntary sector. Removing barriers to counselling support is very close to my heart and I pride myself on being a down to earth practitioner.

There is not solely one way to be and experience life. I believe this is also true for how we construct the therapeutic space.

I have experience helping clients who suffered from Depression, Anxiety, Complex Grief, Eating disorders, Low Self Esteem, and fertility and maternal mental health issues.
Empathy and validation are the key foundations of my work and I think finding an understanding of a clients perspective helps them in turn to find solutions for peace of mind for and within themselves. Working in this client centred way has been incredibly fulfilling these last few years and having my own practice allows for real freedom to choose how we work together.

People access therapy for many different reasons, but generally we are most likely to reach out for help when our usual coping strategies are no longer effective. At these times it is not always helpful or possible to turn to family or friends, and their well-meaning support may not always help. I will provide a calm and confidential space where you will be able to safely share what is troubling you.

As a fully qualified person centered counsellor and BACP member I have experience in working with bereavement, self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, loss and caregiver burden.
Sometimes, we can feel overwhelmed by life and we don't recognize why we feel the way we do. This can lead to us feeling disconnected with others but also with ourselves. Sometimes the problem is not always clear and by talking things through in a safe space, it can help us understand what is happening. Navigating issues through a therapeutic relationship can empower us to progress in your journey of self-discovery and thrive in life. I can offer you a safe, confidential space for you to feel heard, bring any issues that may be affecting you and your ability to flourish.
