• How our childhoods impact our relationships with each other

• How experiences in previous romantic relationships affect our current relationship

• How we may trigger each other unintentionally causing friction between us

• How we may avoid or distance ourselves from our partner to protect ourselves from getting hurt

• How we may use passive aggressive ways of communicating which may cause the other person to react

• How me may project our past experiences in relationships onto our current partner

• How we may be afraid of expressing our needs

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of where to turn, you're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. Reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially if you’ve never worked with a therapist before. I understand that because I’ve been there myself.

I’m a warm, down-to-earth, trauma-informed therapist who offers a safe and compassionate space where you can explore whatever is going on for you—without fear of judgement. Whether you're facing relationship challenges, emotional struggles, or just feeling lost, I’m here to help you make sense of it all.

People often tell me they feel comfortable with me quickly, and that’s really important to me. I know that healing happens when we feel safe enough to be ourselves. My approach brings together the depth of counselling with some of the practical tools of coaching, so we can gently explore your past while also helping you move forward in the present.

Having worked through my own personal struggles, I know how hard it can be when life feels like too much. But I also know change is possible. Through therapy, reflection, and support, I was able to shift my own life—and now I help others do the same.

Individual Counselling

Life can feel confusing and overwhelming at times. I provide a warm, confidential space where you can talk openly and begin to understand yourself more deeply. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or feeling stuck, I’ll support you to build clarity, confidence, and self-awareness so you can move forward with greater ease.

Couples Counselling

Relationships can bring connection and joy—but when communication breaks down, they can also feel painful and isolating. I work with couples who feel stuck in negative patterns, such as repeated arguments, emotional distance, or loss of intimacy. My role is to help both partners feel heard and supported while learning practical tools to rebuild trust, improve communication, and reconnect in a meaningful way.

I will work with you on building relationship resilience; this means finding practical methods of overcoming issues within the relationship by using different resources such as communication exercises and conflict resolution.

I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation for you to get a sense of how I work as a therapist and to answer any questions you may have.

My fees are 110 pound for couples counselling.

my fees are 75 pound  for individual counselling.
