Hi, I’m Moira, a BACP-registered integrative counsellor. I work with adults, young people, and neurodivergent individuals, offering a calm, supportive space where you can be yourself — no pressure, no judgement. I support clients with a range of issues including anxiety, masking and burnout, emotional regulation, low mood, self-esteem, and navigating identity and relationships. I can help you unpick your feelings and understand them. I offer a confidential space where you can slow down, speak freely, and begin to make sense of what's going on beneath the surface. A space to just be YOU. A space to heal.

You may be feeling anxious, low in mood, or stuck in unhelpful cycles that keep repeating themselves. Perhaps worry, stress, or negative thoughts are affecting your day-to-day life, making it harder to focus, enjoy relationships, or feel confident in yourself. These feelings can be overwhelming and exhausting, and it’s natural to wonder if things will ever change. What you want is to feel more in control of how you respond, to break free from patterns, and to have practical tools you can use when life feels difficult. You may also want to strengthen your relationship, reduce conflict, or feel more connected to other people.

As a counsellor, I practice in a pluralistic way which means I draw upon different theoretical approaches when I work with you as an individual – after all, there is only one of you in the world! My aim is to attune to your individual needs and I strive to work in an authentic down to earth way that is interactive and collaborative. Counselling can be daunting so I will work with you at your pace, offering you a space that is non-judgemental, respectful and confidential. Everyone is different, but having a space to talk and actually be heard can be extremely powerful and healing; leading to a greater understanding of yourself.

I believe every relationship carries a unique story, shaped by culture, family, faith, trauma, personality, and the nervous system. When couples struggle, it’s rarely because they don’t care — it’s because something in their system has become overwhelmed, unheard, or unprotected. I create a space where both partners can slow down, feel safe, and truly hear each other — not just with their ears, but with their hearts and nervous systems. My work is gentle, direct, and respectful of each person’s story. Whether you’re navigating conflict, emotional distance, communication breakdowns, cultural differences, or the impact of trauma.

I'm a psychotherapist specialising in anxiety and OCD, using CBT and ERP. Sessions are online, for 50 minutes, and can be weekly or fortnightly. Depending on your goals, we can focus on intrusive thoughts that feel scary or shameful, worries about the future or your health, or addressing doing things that you've avoided because of fear. It can feel exhausting and hopeless when nothing seems to help, but also really scary to reach out for support. I generally see people making significant improvements within a few weeks of therapy, but there is never any pressure to continue if things don't feel helpful.

Life can sometimes becomes overwhelming, what you thought you had a handle on can suddenly feel incredibly unbearable. Conflicting emotions or unhealthy behaviours can arise from self-expectations, family or peer pressure and the never ending demands of a 24/7 world. Whatever your age, background, race or culture, being heard and talking freely in a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space can be incredibly empowering in understanding who you are and making sense of the thoughts and feelings that arise. As an integrative counsellor, I am flexible in working with the best possible approach to achieve the best outcome for you.

People usually seek therapy because they have reached a crisis point in their life and are struggling to cope alone. This can lead to feeling stuck or creating unhelpful behaviour patterns to cope which present them from living life to their full potential. We often feel confused, anxious, depressed, emotionally numb or trapped in our past without clear goals in life or clear identity. I can offer you a safe space to explore better internal understanding which promotes self awareness, personal growth and inner peace which enables you to feel full of hope and clarity to achieve personal success.
