Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, loss, or simply feeling unsure of who you are or where you’re heading. I offer 1:1 counselling or hypnotherapy in a safe, confidential space, either online or in person. Together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at a pace that feels right for you, helping you gain clarity, strengthen self-understanding and move towards meaningful change. I will work alongside you offering empathy, professional insight and tailored approaches to help you find the path that feels right for you.
I work with clients experiencing stress, anxiety, fears and phobias, low confidence, self-esteem or self-worth, panic attacks, relationship issues, bereavement and anticipatory grief. You may have a specific issue you would like support with, or you may simply need time and space to pause, reflect and be heard in safe environment
I am a calm and dedicated therapist with a genuine passion in supporting people navigate challenges and help bring positive change. I offer a non-judgemental environment where you feel heard and valued and can explore your capacity to heal and thrive. I offer a 15 minute initial phone consultation free of charge. Please reach out if you feel I can help.

These are the main issues I can help you with. A typical treatment plan involves exploring emotions, thoughts and behaviours, any specific triggers or drivers and help find resolution or coping strategies. I work with all adult individuals but particularly with women, helping discover identity and true self alongside an improvement in self-esteem and self-worth and overall sense of wellbeing.
