Counselling in PO16
I work with adults, children, young people, couples and groups who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stuck. They may be navigating trauma, grief, family estrangement, or living with hidden disabilities or neurodiversity. Often, they long for understanding, calm, and a sense of balance within themselves and their relationships. They want to feel heard, accepted, and supported as they safely explore their emotions. Through Humanistic Counselling and Integrated Therapy, they aim to build resilience, heal old wounds, and rediscover clarity, confidence, and inner peace.

I specialise in working with ADHD, Neurodiversity, and the traumatic impacts that relationships (both past & present) can have on our lives.
Of course these experiences will be different for everyone, but I wonder if you are noticing any of the following in your life?
- Feeling anxious or overwhelmed
- People-pleasing, perfectionism, or masking
- A history of being dismissed, invalidated, or having to adapt to fit in
- Using substances, food or distractions as ways of coping
- Feeling shame, guilt, or a sense of “not being enough”
- Low mood, low self esteem, depression
- Difficulties with trust, or boundaries

Low mood, anxiety (social, health, general, phobias), OCD, trauma... All things that can trap us into cycles of behaviours and ways of thinking that make life tough.
Living a life that is no longer in line with our values and feels stuck that way?
Need change? Need to reclaim back elements of you? Want to feel a sense of accomplishment or purpose, enjoyment or connection to others again?
Want to feel in control of your mood rather than being controlled by it?
Let's make some changes and see what happens.

Are you struggling with anxiety, stress or depression? Are health, work, study, university life, relationships, overweight, caring responsibilities or life decisions causing you to feel overwhelmed? Perhaps you are lacking in confidence, unable to make decisions or just not as satisfied as you know you should be? Your self esteem, body image, relationships, eating habits, sleep or life choices may be affected. Perhaps you are worried about coming off weight loss medication and want to establish healthy habits and better self worth? Are you looking for therapy that involves more than learning coping skills?

I work from a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, integrating CBT, grounding techniques, emotional regulation tools, and reflective counselling. Sessions are collaborative, confidential, and paced around your needs.
