Hello, I am a trauma-informed therapeutic counsellor based in South Northamptonshire, supporting both young adults and adults through challenges such as anxiety, low self-esteem and or lacking confidence, depression, grief, and trauma.
I believe therapy should be collaborative, flexible, and a safe space where you feel heard and understood. It’s a place to explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace, without pressure or judgement. Sessions can take place face‑to‑face or online, giving you the freedom to choose the setting that feels most comfortable for you.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can talk things through and begin to make sense of what’s going on. If you’re considering therapy and feel this approach might suit you, I invite you to take the next step and reach out.
