You may be looking for therapy because something feels difficult—perhaps anxiety, overwhelm, low mood, or a sense of feeling stuck or not quite yourself. It may be something else entirely. You might not have a clear way of describing it, and that’s OK. I offer a safe space where we can explore what’s going on for you in a way that feels manageable. I will listen carefully to your story and work alongside you with warmth, curiosity, and respect. You may be longing not to feel alone in what you are experiencing, or you may be well used to dealing with things on your own, so seeking support may feel unnatural. I’m here to help.
I aim to offer a space that is inclusive, caring and respectful — where you feel taken seriously. I am interested in you and your story, and tailor our work to your needs, beginning with what feels most important to you right now. I will work at a pace that feels manageable, as you move towards greater understanding, change, growth and peace.
I understand that reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, which is a normal response. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call. You are also welcome to email me with any questions. My aim will be that through our work together, you can feel more at ease, more connected to yourself, and better able to navigate your life.

I work with a range of issues, some of which are listed here. But you don't need to have a clear label for what you are experiencing. If something feels difficult, that is enough. You will be at the centre of the work we do together. Your unique experience and what you are going through will guide our focus, as together we find a way through for you.

My integrative approach means I consider how your past experiences may shape how you feel, cope, and relate today. Together, we can explore both what is happening in your life now and the deeper patterns that may sit underneath. The therapeutic relationship itself is important and I aim to offer a space where you can feel safe, heard, and understood.
