If you feel lost, stuck, or disconnected -perhaps from your identity, path, or sense of self - I provide a safe and creative space to explore and rediscover who you are. I work with women, teens, and queer individuals facing challenges like ADHD, autism, masking, burnout, post-natal depression or trauma. You may be navigating growth, managing change, or healing past wounds. You might be seeking clarity, self-understanding, or tools to live more authentically. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, meet your unique needs, and help you build a life that feels grounded, balanced, and truly your own—one that honors your authentic self.

Hi thank you for visiting my profile. I work in an integrative way which means I use different counselling techniques depending on what works best for, you, the client. I believe in a person centred approach which helps clients to reconnect with their core values and sense of self-worth. This approach, along with other tools, can help facilitate the client's personal growth by enabling them to explore and utilise their own strengths. I also use CBT when appropriate and psychodynamic therapy.

You’re here because you want something to change. You might not know exactly what that is but something feels wrong. Perhaps you feel anxious or depressed. Or maybe you’ve been getting into fights with your spouse, family, or colleagues. Whatever your problems, they are unique to you.

I am an integrative counsellor. I work on a relationship based on trust, acceptance and non-judgement. From this foundation, using various therapeutic tools, I can help you to understand and question outmoded beliefs, conditions or rules that once served you but no longer fit. If you have an urning for change but are not sure where to start, counselling can help by acting as an agent or catalyst for change. Change can be scary, it can also be very empowering. When we let go of our old beliefs we open the way for new even exciting things to happen. Change doesn't have to be a slow or long process, it can be quick and effective.

After my first assessment I will work closely with my client to decide on the best form of therapy for them and decide the way forward together. I have had a passion for helping others my entire life and began counselling in 2010. My own past has only served to deepen my desire to help as I can deeply empathise with those who need it most. I believe that no one should suffer in silence and I work hard to try and guide clients to their own answers. When someone feels lost they then become confused and this is a very lonely place to be. I base my work on clearing the mist and helping clients find the answers.

I provide a safe and confidential space for both individuals and those with relationship difficulties to work through what is troubling you. Therapy can be daunting and many struggle to make that initial consultation; you are not alone. I will walk alongside you every step of the way on your therapeutic journey; providing you with individually tailored tools and techniques to work through your difficulties. Often in life it is our relationships, which cause us the most angst, our stress is generally always in relation to someone else and our self talk if often heavily laden with 'shoulds' resulting in feelings of guilt.

Hi my name is Rosa and I love to tailor a therapy for my clients, my holistic approach does not merely focus exclusively on your thinking style. Working with me will allow you to reconnect your mind body and soul so it becomes easier to understand unhelpful thinking styles which may be triggering anxiety and in turn lower your physical and emotional well-being.

Are you reeling from a recent diagnosis? Perhaps you feel like ill health keeps you stuck and living smaller than you'd like? Maybe you have good friends and family but still feel alone with all of it. Are you exhausted from having to keep it all together when life has been derailed by illness? I get it. Living with a chronic health condition can put unwanted and unpredictable limits around your life. Having a chronic illness diagnosis myself, I understand some of the challenges it can bring. But only you know how chronic illness has effected you. Art therapy can help you see and set down some of those heavy feelings you carry.
