My clients are adults and teens who want to understand themselves more deeply. You might be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed or burnt out, struggling in relationships or at work, or carrying the impact of difficult past experiences. Some are exploring possible neurodivergence or adjusting to an ADHD or autism diagnosis. Together we slow things down, make sense of patterns in your life, and explore new ways of relating to yourself and others so you can move forward with more clarity and choice.

Perhaps you are wondering why choose to work with me or what would this look like? We can begin with exploring what you are going through and look to increase awareness and understanding of the impact of these lived experiences, and possibly identify the origins. Your journey and experiences are unique. You bring your story and together we will navigate the feelings, thoughts, emotions and behaviours, validate the impact and create a clear picture of the change you might hope to achieve. Through this process we can also explore ways you can best implement change for an improved lived experience.

Hi, There are times in life when things can feel heavy and overwhelming, whether you’re living with anxiety, low mood, depression, grief, loneliness, or difficulties in relationships. You don’t have to carry it all on your own. As a person‑centred counsellor, I offer a warm, caring, and confidential space where your thoughts and feelings truly matter, where you feel deeply heard and understood, and where together we can gently explore what’s been weighing on you. Alongside my counselling work, I have a background in teaching speech and drama, volunteering with Home-Start, and leading workshops for people living with depression.

We all have experiences that can be difficult to carry on our own. Sometimes we need space to untangle our thoughts, understand our feelings, or simply be heard without pressure to have everything figured out. Therapy offers a place to do exactly that. Alongside my general counselling practice, I have specialist training in fertility counselling and am registered with both BACP and BICA. I have particular experience supporting people through fertility challenges, assisted conception, pregnancy and parenthood, relationship difficulties, loss, and the many transitions that life can bring.

I’m a strong believer that, in the words of Nelson Mandela “there is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living” – yet sometimes life is really quite tough and we find ourselves struggling and this ideal seems far from our reality. You may find yourself feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious or lonely. Or, you may have been struggling for some time and haven’t found the motivation to address it but now that struggle may be feeling a little bigger.

Maybe you’ve been carrying something for a long time, something you’ve never quite said out loud to anyone. It might be an exhausting pattern you keep returning to. A part of yourself that feels like too much, or not enough. Something about who you are, your sexuality, your identity, your history, that you’ve never fully brought into the light. I work with people navigating addiction and recovery, including chemsex; childhood trauma and shame; and questions around sexuality and gender. These aren’t separate territories to me. I know how deeply they can overlap and how tiring it is to hold them alone.

Often people find that painful experiences and relationships in their past mean that things in the present can be complicated and sometimes hard to bear. They affect how we feel about ourselves, how we feel about the world and how we relate to other people we encounter.  If we work together we’ll explore what brought you to therapy now and think together about where the difficulties in your present might have come from. I will listen very carefully to you in order to appreciate what you are feeling so that we can begin to see how you might find a greater freedom in your life.

Maybe you’re thinking and feeling things you don’t want to think or feel. Or maybe feeling nothing at all. Perhaps things keep going wrong; or perhaps nothing changes. It could be you feel you can’t cope. Or something has just come and hit you for six. Counselling is a safe place to explore things like that. It’s a place with the potential for personal change. Fortunately, we humans can change our minds. Literally. A fancy word for this is plasticity. Even more, we are designed to change in each other’s company. It’s how humans learn to fit in. So we make a new relationship, you and I, and this is our vehicle for change.

Men's Issues Counsellors
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
