Have some availibility

I specialise in supporting women who feel as though they have been holding everything together for too long but are now finding it increasingly difficult to cope. Many of my clients experience a sense of overwhelm, burnout, and exhaustion. These feelings can arise after years of consistently wearing a mask, engaging in people-pleasing behaviours, and routinely putting others’ needs before their own - often without fully realising the reasons behind these patterns.

We often support those around us yet struggle silently and feel as though we are barely holding on. We can use coping strategies that include avoidance or other methods of distraction to get through the day, but these are not beneficial in the long term. Suppressing or ignoring these emotions might offer temporary relief, but over time, this approach can contribute to anxiety, depression, anger, frustration, fatigue, low self-esteem, poor confidence, feelings of overwhelm, stress, sleep disturbances, physical pain and discomfort.

There may have been significant life events such as bereavement, loss, illness, pregnancy, parenting, menopause, breakdown in relationships, domestic abuse, work issues, redundancy, and may be compounded by having caring responsibilities, living with diagnosed or undiagnosed ADHD or autism, or simply having day to day struggles. This list is not exclusive, and there may be lots more!

Does this feel like you and do you find yourself keeping your deepest thoughts and experiences private, rarely sharing these with others - perhaps because you do not feel heard, or understood?

I have been a qualified counsellor since 2016, am a Person-Centred Therapist with a preference for Integrative Counselling, which allows me to use various methods suited to you, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). I also worked for many years in Learning and Development, Family support, and as a Domestic Abuse Support Worker at Watford Women's Centre all of which have provided me with insight into the significant challenges individuals and families can face and how life changing support can be. Alongside this I have a lot of lived experience.

When we work together you can unmask and show your true self. This is your time and your space, and I will not be shocked by what you share, nothing is too big or too small to talk about. Feelings are feelings they are not good or bad, but your thoughts are not necessarily facts, and I may gently challenge you when necessary, encouraging you to consider a different perspective about yourself, others, or a situation. With your agreement, I may introduce strategies that will help and support you.

You can explore the reasons behind your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours, and consider steps you might take towards change if needed. What ever challenges you are facing we can work through this together and at your pace, and if you feel that change including working on boundaries would be helpful, we can discuss strategies tailored to you.

Prior to our first session I will email you a short form to fill out so I can get a fuller picture of how you are feeling, and we can talk through this if needed. This isn’t a test it’s simply to help me understand a bit more about you. You don’t need to know all the answers, and it’s ok if you’re not sure what you want to say.

I am very aware that starting therapy can be overwhelming and daunting, and you may not know where to start - this is completely normal. Additionally the first session is often a huge relief for clients, as they may have been holding on to buried experiences, thoughts, and feelings for a long time, and they are finally taking time out for themselves to explore, learn, and heal. This is your time, and I will be by your side, supporting you each step of the way. Remember that it is okay to take your time to feel comfortable, and be patient with yourself and the process.

As a therapist you are invited in to a clients inner world to share in their lived experience's, and what makes my work worthwhile is seeing clients learn about themselves, value themselves, and improve their self-esteem and confidence. Together, we will work on practising self care, reducing your anxiety and depression, and work through trauma and loss.

If this resonates with you and you would like to talk more then please contact me for a free initial call. This is so you can ask any questions you have, and I can find out what kind of support you are looking for. The counselling relationship is very important to therapy and you need to feel comfortable with your therapist.

Thank you for reading this, and I look forward to talking to you and getting to know more about you.

Supporting Women Through Life's Challenges

I specialise in supporting women who feel as though they have been holding everything together for so long, but are now finding it increasingly difficult to cope. Many of my clients experience a sense of overwhelm, burnout, and exhaustion. These feelings can arise after years of consistently wearing a mask, engaging in people pleasing behaviours, and routinely putting others’ needs before their own—often without fully realising the reasons behind these patterns.

There may be significant life events such as bereavement, breakdown in relationship, redundancy, illness, menopause, anxiety and depression, or illness.

Such challenges might also be compounded by Domestic Abuse, living with insomnia, taking on caring responsibilities for children or relatives, or living with undiagnosed ADHD or Autism.

If any of this resonates with you, please know that you are not alone, and I am here to help.

My Professional Background

I have been a qualified counsellor since 2016, bringing experience from both private practice and various support settings.

Beyond counselling, I have worked for many years as a learning and development coach, and have supported individuals in roles such as domestic abuse support worker, working in family support centres, and providing care for carers. Through all of these roles, I have witnessed just how much individuals endure, and I understand that life can sometimes feel overwhelming and incredibly challenging.
