I’m a qualified and experienced counsellor, working with adults to support emotional wellbeing and personal development. I offer a warm, confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Life often presents challenges—whether it's trauma, anxiety, stress, low mood, or significant life transitions. You may be navigating a relationship break-up, career change, bereavement, relocation, starting university, becoming an empty nester, retirement, or experiencing shifts in your identity. It’s completely natural to feel overwhelmed or uncertain during these times. Reaching out for support is a courageous and empowering step toward greater clarity and healing.

My approach combines traditional talking therapy with elements of psychoeducation. This means we’ll explore your experiences in depth, while also building an understanding of how the brain and body respond to stress, trauma, and emotional patterns. Together, we’ll work to understand how your past may be influencing your present, and gently move toward reducing anxiety, increasing self-awareness and confidence, and creating space for meaningful, lasting change.

I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.

Counselling can provide an opportunity to explore the difficulties you are going through; it can allow time for self-reflection. Talking about your problems can also help lessen feelings of hopelessness and isolation, it can be helpful during times of depression, anxiety, uncertainty, and change.

My role is not to advise or tell you what to do, but facilitate your growth, development and enable self-discovery. We will then start to build copying mechanisms and resilience to help you move forward.

Counselling can be hard work and emotionally challenging, but also rewarding and even enjoyable.

Confidentiality is at the base of a good/trusting relationship, and it will be maintained at all times, expect in exceptional circumstances.
