Counselling in PL4
Life will sometimes take us down paths we havn't asked for, causing us to loose sense of our true self, dulling our energy and bringing uncertainty in how we choose to live. Talking does help. It gives you the chance to bring all your concerns and worries into a safe space where I can help you sort through each of them. With careful exploration we can identify what you might like to change and how to make the change. Life will feel easier and lighter as you start to gain control over how you choose to live it.

Whether you have a specific issue you know you want to sort out, or a general uneasy sense of something "not quite right", I offer you the time, space and support you feel you want. Sessions may involve a gentle "person centred" exploration, or more challenging and deeper work.
The best style of therapy for you will become apparent when we first talk and your first session will give you the best opportunity to decide on how you would like to proceed and whether I am a suitable counsellor for YOU.

There comes a moment - sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once - when we realise something needs attention. A feeling, a pattern, a memory that won’t stay quiet.
Counselling is a place where we can listen closely to what’s going on beneath the noise. It’s not about ‘saying the right thing’ - it’s about being together with what’s true, in a space that allows you to breathe a little deeper.
Some people come with much to say, others bring silence or nudges that don’t yet make sense. It’s all welcome.
For those who feel drawn to it, I also offer therapeutic songwriting sessions.

Hello :) I’m a neurodiverse, queer counsellor offering down to earth support to people feeling lost, alone, powerless, and unsure how to cope. Working together effectively cuts through the noise of everyday life, allowing you to hear yourself and your needs more clearly. My approach is integrative, drawing predominantly from person centred counselling (we are equal), Gestalt (working towards wholeness) and existential counselling (what is this life all about?). By creating and offering a curious and hopeful space, I hope to help you to listen and respond to your emotions with love, understanding and empowerment.

Hello there. Life can feel confusing, difficult, or overwhelming. Sometimes it helps to talk things through with someone who will listen without judgment. I offer a calm, welcoming space where you can share thoughts and feelings that might be hard to express elsewhere. Together, we can talk about what’s going on for you, and explore how you experience things in your own way.
You’re welcome to get in touch if you’d like to find out more or arrange an initial meeting.

Offering reduced fees. moving my practice online has enbaled me to pass these savings on to my clients.
People generally look for a counsellor because they feel stuck or unable to move forward from unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns. You could struggle to connect with others and maintain healthy relationships. You may also feel like you can’t keep up with the people around you; as though everyone is doing better than you are. Self-acceptance and self-worth may be a problem, especially if you are suffering from anxiety and depression. Do you want to move forward and build yourself a sustainable future?
