Is life feeling difficult at the moment? Do you feel anxious, frustrated or low and struggle to find a way forward? I offer a compassionate counselling service where you can explore and make sense of any difficulties you are experiencing in a safe, confidential and therapeutic space. Sometimes its hard to admit to ourselves that we need help, whether it's with challenging life events, childhood or relationship issues. Maybe you are unsure why you feel the way you do but have lost your confidence in yourself or your abilities which has left you with feelings of increasing isolation. Whatever the issue I am here for you..

Currently accepting new clients online and in-person. I understand it can be daunting taking the first step in contacting a therapist. You may feel you want to make changes in your life, find clarity over a past or more recent life event or simply feel things cannot continue the way they are; whatever your situation I offer a warm, welcome, safe space for you to explore what you are grappling with. Together we work at finding the best course of counselling for you, one that reflects your unique personality, needs, wants and life experiences and where you are at in your life’s journey.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my page. i am an experienced counsellor who works with a wide range of presenting issues. The work we do together can be looking at events in your past that have impacted upon you and stay with you now, or the present and what is happening in your life that is making life difficult. Coping and adjusting to loss in any situation can be really tough, supporting you and offering you strategies can make the experience feel manageable Sometimes how we think does not often support or help us, therapy can explore and challenge this so we become more supportive of ourselves and rewrite the script.

Are you feeling that sometimes life is hard and can be a struggle? We may look fine on the outside but be hurting on the inside. Counselling can help. Distressing life events can make it difficult to cope. The likes of depression, anxiety, low self esteem and general sadness can take hold of us. Talking to a counsellor can enable you to deal with your problems so that you can begin to find your own way.

Sometimes we feel stuck or find ourselves acting in ways that don't seem to help us along. We all solve problems in our lives on a daily basis, but there are times when we need some extra help. This is when we may benefit from talking things through with a specialist. Perhaps you are looking for some help with - coping with day to day living, dilemmas, life changes, stress, making difficult decisions, identity, relationships, parenting or any other challenges or issues that you think might benefit from a psychological approach.

We are all unique and how we cope and deal with the problems that life can throw at us are unique too. Finding the right person to help you navigate the problems you are facing is arguably the most important part of Counselling. I can offer a safe space for you to explore and resolve your problems and together find a way to forward. If you decide this is the right time for you to come to counselling I will work with you in a collaborative way that feels safe and effective for you.

On the rocky road of life, it can be hard; sometimes we stumble and fall. I can help you to get up, dust yourself down and see your way forward again. In this complex and frightening world, at times it can be overwhelming. I can help you to see through your problems to the other side, towards acceptance and growth. We can all make mistakes, take wrong turnings, hit roadblocks and feel we have lost control now and then. I can help you to discover your direction once more through the jungle of relationships and life’s setbacks.

Life can be a challenge, especially now. As your therapist, I can offer you a secure and trusted space to bring your needs and concerns. I believe that therapy should lead to a “step change” where my clients become able to make an immediate difference to the way they think and their relationships with others. I work to build trust and empathy and strive to understand the world from your perspective. I can help you to understand that small changes to the way you see things can have a major impact on how you feel.

I specialise in working with trauma and neurodivergence. I believe the relationship is key to the work and I will offer a warm and safe setting for us to explore what you chose to bring. Being autistic myself I can offer a different way of seeing things for non autistic clients and a shared lived experience for those autistic clients. I offer a non judgemental space for you to explore different parts of yourself. I strive to work in the best way for my clients individually meaning I do not have an agenda in mind other than to be fully present with you.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
