Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck or unsure where to turn? You don’t have to cope alone. I offer a warm, calm and confidential counselling space in Hitchin where you can talk freely, feel understood and begin to heal at your own pace.

I am a Â鶹ԭ´´-registered counsellor and psychotherapist with over eight years’ clinical experience supporting adults, young people and children facing anxiety, trauma, stress, loss and emotional difficulty. I specialise in helping clients work through trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, low self-esteem and emotional overwhelm, gently supporting them to feel safer, more confident and more in control again.

My core approach is person-centred therapy, meaning I listen without judgement and work alongside you, not in front of you. Where helpful, I integrate elements of trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness and attachment-based work to provide the right support for your needs. You don’t need to know where to start, just bring yourself, and we’ll explore it together at a pace that feels right for you.

I have many years of experience working in educational settings and with children and young people with Autism, ADHD, learning difficulties and additional needs, as well as with adults navigating stress, burnout, relationships, work pressures and life transitions.

I am committed to providing a safe, ethical and respectful service. Everything shared in therapy is treated with care, confidentiality and sensitivity, in line with the Â鶹ԭ´´ ethical framework.

I offer sessions in person in Hitchin, as well as online and by telephone, making therapy flexible and accessible wherever you are. I also provide a free 30-minute consultation by phone, online or face-to-face so you can decide if I feel like the right fit for you.

Whether you’re struggling with daily anxiety, past trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, or simply feeling lost, I’m here to help you feel supported, heard and less alone.

Individual Therapy for Adults

Life can feel heavy, and carrying everything alone can lead to anxiety, depression, stress, anger, burnout or a sense of disconnection. Therapy offers a safe, non-judgemental space to pause, breathe and feel truly heard, providing support to start making positive changes.

As a person-centred counsellor, I offer a warm, confidential environment to explore difficult emotions, past experiences or current challenges at your own pace. You don’t need the right words — simply being here is enough. Together, we can work through low self-esteem, overwhelm, people-pleasing, relationship issues, trauma, grief or feeling lost, helping you build understanding and resilience.

My aim is to help you reconnect with your inner strength and personal resources. Through gentle exploration, you may begin to understand yourself more clearly, manage emotions, reduce anxiety, improve self-worth and move towards a more authentic, fulfilling life. Therapy isn’t about being told what to do — it’s about discovering your own voice and developing insight.

Child and Adolescent Therapy

Young people often struggle to express their worries, especially under pressure from school, friendships, family or social media. This can present as anxiety, anger, withdrawal, low mood or challenging behaviour. I offer a calm, confidential space where they can feel safe to talk and explore their feelings.

Using a compassionate, age-appropriate and person-centred approach, I help young people build emotional resilience and develop healthy coping strategies for everyday challenges. I have extensive experience in primary, secondary and further education, as well as SEN and SEMH settings, including Autism, ADHD and learning differences.

I hold enhanced DBS clearance and, where appropriate, work with parents and carers, always respecting the young person’s confidentiality and emotional safety, helping them cope with life’s challenges and build confidence and skills for the future.

I provide a complimentary 30-minute initial consultation to discuss your goals for counselling and explore how we might work together to achieve them. This consultation can be conducted in person, over the phone, or via Zoom, depending on your preference, allowing you to choose the option that feels most comfortable and convenient.

The consultation is an opportunity for you to ask questions, share what has brought you to counselling, and get a clear sense of how therapy could help. It’s a safe, confidential space with no pressure or obligation — simply a chance to see if we are the right fit for working together. You can also use this time to discuss practical arrangements, such as session frequency, duration, and the approach that will best suit your needs.

to send an enquiry directly.

As I manage my practice independently, email is the preferred method of initial contact, as I may be unable to answer calls while working with clients. I aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours and will always ensure you feel supported, informed, and reassured from the very first point of contact. I am happy to accommodate different schedules and offer flexible appointment times to suit your needs.

Whether you are seeking counselling for the first time, returning after a break, or unsure where to start, this consultation provides a gentle, informative introduction to the therapeutic process. Together, we can explore your needs, expectations and concerns, helping you take the first step towards greater emotional well-being, resilience, self-understanding and personal growth.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting, and my goal is to make your first experience as comfortable, reassuring and straightforward as possible, so you can feel safe, supported and confident in taking that first step towards positive change.
