I understand that contemplating counselling can be a daunting experience, but I want to reassure you that I can offer a confidential and non-judgemental space for you to be listened to. Each session is led by you and at a pace that feels comfortable. I firmly believe the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative one, and we can work together to explore your feelings and emotions within a safe and supportive setting, and take the first steps towards healing and growth. I previously worked as a teacher, so I am fully aware of how stress and anxiety can have a fundamental impact on securing a manageable work-life balance.
I work with young people (16+) and adults. As well as private practice, I worked as a secondary school counsellor and volunteered for MIND. I have a vast amount of experience of working with anxiety and depression, panic attacks, self-esteem and body image, OCD, self-harm, addiction and sexuality.
I understand you may be feeling lonely, anxious and worried but I am here to offer support. I also understand how difficult it could be to take the first step and reach out, but I am extremely approachable. It is paramount that my clients feel safe, comfortable, and have their voices heard without judgement.
