Are you struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem or the constraints of perfectionism? Do you have difficulties in your home or work life or battle with disordered eating and body confidence? Clients often come to me when they are at a crossroads or have spent a long time wanting to fulfil their potential but not making progress. I provide a safe non-judgemental space where you can feel fully supported to talk about issues that are challenging you, have difficult conversations and create lasting positive changes.
The connection between mind, body and lifestyle are all interwoven so my approach to counselling is based on considering your whole wellbeing not just your thoughts and feelings. In addition to talking, we may explore practical initiatives which you can try out and build on between our sessions.
The idea of working with a new counsellor can be daunting so please do get in touch if you have any questions or would like an initial no-obligation chat about how I can help. I provide weekly or fortnightly counselling appointments - online, telephone or face-to-face - for a limited number of sessions (min. 6 sessions recommended) or on an open ended basis.

I work with adults struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem and/or perfectionism. I also specialise in eating disorders and body image issues. At the outset, we will set goals for our work together which we will review on a regular basis. Lasting results usually come from making holistic changes so you can expect us to explore different aspects of your life, not just how you think and feel.
