Available both in-person and online
Southsea PO4
I can support you with a wide range of emotional challenges including anxiety and depression, relationship issues and boundaries, work and study-related stress, childhood trauma, sexual violence and domestic abuse. I positively welcome LGBTQ+ clients, older people and neurodiverse clients, international clients and students in higher education. I have experience of supporting people with a wide range of identities. As an arts practitioner, I can also offer you ways of working that incorporate creative processes.
My background is in person-centred counselling, an approach that believes that everyone has the capacity for growth whatever their life experiences have been. I won't try to 'fix' you, there isn't a set of tools for healing. The counselling process is unique to each person and I will work alongside you to find ways of resolving problems on your own terms.
I will offer you a warm and accepting space to explore your dilemmas in person or online. I will hear you and to help you to recognise internalised judgement, understand the events and patterns of behaviour that have shaped your life and to explore how these affect you in the here and now. You will not be judged on what you bring to the counselling room.

I work with clients who are experiencing emotional disturbances, anxiety and stress or who may feel 'stuck' in their current circumstances. I am able to work in a trauma informed way, exploring problems carefully and at your own pace. I will never push you to share more than you want and see building a therapeutic relationship as the key to making change. I offer short and long-term counselling.

I use a person-centred approach to therapy, where I see you as the expert in your world and don't offer tools or quick fixes for problems. I will listen deeply and help you to understand your experiences. It can be difficult to put feelings into words, so I also offer creative approaches to counselling for those who would like to explore their inner world through image-making or materials.
