You may also be coping with painful life changes such as divorce or bereavement.
I was drawn to counselling by a strong commitment to supporting and strengthening relationships. I believe that the quality of our home life is fundamental to our well-being and has a lasting impact on our children. My practice includes experience in addressing sexual issues, and I bring a deep understanding of ADHD and the complex challenges it can present.

I believe that our capacity to cope with issues that arise in adult life, whether this is how we experience the world, relate to others, cope with difficult situations or understand and manage what can often be overwhelming emotions, is ultimately bound up with our early experiences. Whether we wish to or not we carry our history with us and sometimes this does not provide the strong foundation needed to engage and embrace life or weather its storms. I work with clients to recognise the origins of their difficulties so that together we might arrive at a place where life is understandable, and they feel both validated and valued.

You’re the one people rely on — thoughtful, capable, always trying to do the right thing. But inside, it’s different: anxiety, burnout, low mood, or a sense that something’s missing. Maybe you suspect undiagnosed neurodiversity like ADHD, or feel stuck in patterns shaped by trauma, stress, or past relationships. You want clarity, relief, and to stop repeating the same cycles. You’re not looking for labels — you want to understand what’s really going on, feel more like yourself, and finally breathe. Therapy isn’t about fixing you — it’s about helping you reconnect with who you are, in a way that feels safe, steady, and real.

Do you feel sad, anxious, overwhelmed, angry, empty, lonely, scared, unsatisfied, not yourself? Do you do things you don’t want or need to do, things that aren’t good for you or the people around you? Do you wonder where your place is in the world? What is your purpose? What it all means?
If any of this sounds true for you, then this is when counselling can be a positive step. I can help you to explore why you feel, think and behave the way you do, perhaps in ways that are stopping you from fulfilling your potential, from living the life you want to live, from finding meaning/purpose - from being you.

My counselling process is client focused and tailored. You and your personal journey are unique, therefore there is no "one size fits all" approach in my therapy space. Although I have had a long and varied education into counselling, psychology and social forces, I remain convinced by a fact that I learned on the first day of my degree... It is often not the method of counselling which predicts a benefit to our clients, but the relationship between client and practitioner. I prioritise building trust and a sense of safety that healing can bed into and thrive in.

Opening up to someone new can understandably make you feel anxious. You may wonder, "Will I be judged?" "Will I be told I'm a hopeless case?" A lot of the time we can be own worst enemy. We tell ourselves that we are not good enough, not capable, or not loveable. We get frustrated, angry, depressed, anxious, and stuck in a world which sometimes feels fake and hollow somehow. We allow others to bully us, walk all over us, hurt us and destroy our dreams. However, all is not lost. Often all we need is just a small change in our perception, and to be seen and heard. This can make a huge difference.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and 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.
