I have availability Monday -Friday for both in person and online therapy and clinical supervision

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure where to begin. My aim is to offer a space where you feel safe, accepted, and able to talk openly without fear of judgement. You don't have to have the right words or know exactly what's wrong, we can make sense of things together, at a pace that feels right for you.

I work with adults experiencing a range of emotional difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, and life transitions. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or simply exhausted from trying to cope on your own. Whatever brings you to therapy, you will be met with warmth, compassion, and respect.

I am a person-centred approach, which means I believe you are the expert on your own life. Rather than telling you what to do, I work alongside you to help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way that leads to greater self-understanding and lasting change. Every client is unique, so while person-centred therapy is at the heart of my work, I also draw on other therapeutic approaches where appropriate to meet your individual needs. This flexible, integrative way of working allows therapy to be tailored to you rather than expecting you to fit a particular model.

As therapy progresses, many clients notice they begin to feel less overwhelmed by anxiety, develop greater confidence in themselves, and gain a stronger sense of who they are. They often become better able to understand their emotions, recognise and communicate their needs, make decisions that feel right for them, establish healthier boundaries more build more fulfilling relationships.

Clients often describe me as calm, approachable, and easy to talk to. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work because I believe meaningful change happens when you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted without judgement.

Alongside my general counselling practice, I have specialist experience supporting parents and carers of children who have experienced sexual abuse. For more than nine years, I have worked with caregivers navigating the emotional impact of trauma, helping them process feelings such as guilt, fear, anger, and helplessness while developing a deeper understanding of their child's experiences. This work is grounded in a trauma-informed approach and recognises the importance of supporting the whole family.

Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting, but you don't have to face life's challenges alone.

If you are ready to take the first step or have any questions, feel free to contact me for an initial consultation.
