My approach integrates the depth of therapy with the practicality of coaching, offering you a space to understand the past, manage the present, and shape your future.

Counselling, Therapy and Coaching in Cambridge

I help people live happier, more fulfilling lives by understanding their struggles and supporting them to move forward with confidence.

How I Work as a Counsellor

As a qualified counsellor in Cambridge, I specialise in helping adults with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, bereavement, stress, and workplace challenges. 

I offer a warm, compassionate and confidential space where you can speak openly, feel heard, and never judged. Together, we’ll explore what’s troubling you and help you find calm, clarity and confidence.

How I Work as a Coach

As a coach and therapist, I combine my counselling expertise with 15 years of leadership experience at several blue-chip business such as The Financial Times, Marks & Spencer, and Selfridges. This allows me to bring real-world insight to career growth, confidence-building and personal development.

I often work with women who feel unsure of their next step or struggle with self-doubt. Using proven techniques such as career timelines, transferable skills mapping and practical CV and interview coaching, I help clients gain clarity, self-belief and renewed purpose in their professional lives.

The Benefits of a Coach-Therapist Approach

Counselling enables clients to reflect on the past and the present, to look at inner change and conflict in depth. Coaching enables development and progression. By integrating the two, I can support clients to work at emotional depth as well as explore their hopes and goals for the future and how to achieve them.

Online Counselling and Coaching

I offer online therapy and coaching sessions via Zoom, so you can meet from the comfort of your home at a time that suits you. Every session provides a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space, where warmth and understanding are at the heart of the work.

Book Your Free Consultation

I offer a complimentary 30-minute introductory session for all new clients. This is your opportunity to see if I’m the right counsellor, therapist, or coach for you, and to ask any questions about how the process works.

During this initial conversation, we’ll talk about what brings you to therapy or coaching, what you’d like to achieve, and how we can best work together. Many clients find that this session helps them feel more comfortable and confident about taking the next step.

Once you decide to continue, we’ll agree on a regular weekly or fortnightly time to meet online. Your first full session will explore your goals, challenges, and what a positive outcome looks like for you.

All sessions are held online via Zoom, offering flexibility, privacy and the convenience of working from your own home.
