Welcome - I'm glad you're here. I’m an integrative therapeutic counsellor with a degree in Psychology, and a member of the BACP. My mission is to create a safe, confidential, and supportive space for those who may feel like the “black sheep” or are struggling with their identity, sense of purpose, or life’s overwhelming challenges. If you’re facing a difficult transition, dealing with relationship struggles, or working through anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, I’m here to help you reconnect with the essence of who you truly are. Together, we’ll gently explore your concerns in an understanding, non-judgmental environment.
I work in a way that focuses on you and what you need. In our sessions, you’ll guide the conversation, and we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. When helpful, I will share information or use different methods based on your unique experiences and needs. The aim is to empower you to find clarity, resilience and a greater sense of well being.
If you're feeling lost, stuck or overwhelmed, you are not alone. With experience supporting individuals from all backgrounds, including with different neuro-diversities and diverse gender identities, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental and inclusive space for you to be heard. Together, we can explore your unique experiences and find a path forward.

In our first session we will work collaboratively to put together a working agreement between us. This will involve gaining some background information about you, some insight into what is causing you difficulty and an understanding of your hopes and expectations for therapy. I will explain further how I work and invite any questions or concerns you might have. There are no silly questions :)
