Sometimes life can feel like it is pulling you down a road you didn’t choose, with challenges coming at you faster than you can handle, or no time to deal with something something lurking over your shoulder, weighing you down whilst life spins passed you.

It can feel incessant, overwhelming. Counselling can’t stop that, but it can be a place to step off, pause, to breathe and rest.

You can't stop life coming at you, but you can change how it impacts you, and that’s where I can help. I have more information on my website about me, and about counselling, so please do have a look if you would like to know more.

There have been times when I have questioned my self worth. When everything around me has been changing and I have not been sure of what my role is, counselling has helped me learn who I want to be, and how to be that person.

Whatever it is that brought you here, anxiety, depression, family issues, relationship issues, low self esteem, coping with neurodiversity, parenting issues, imposter syndrome.  Perhaps you just know something is off, but you don't know what and just want to talk.  Whatever it is, you don’t have to keep battling it alone.

Counselling sessions are not an interview, there’s no advice or homework or labels. We just talk. At your pace, and about the things that you want to talk about, when you feel ready to do so. There are no right or wrong answers, and I won’t judge you. We might laugh and swear, and sometimes we might cry, but whatever emotions we face, we will be facing them together to help you find a way to feel better in the here and now, and when looking to your future.

I can help you find focus through talking, and when you can't find the words, I have creative ways to help find what it is you're feeling, and help you break that down into tangible emotions.

We can work towards an end goal, or simply towards a shift in how you feel. It really is up to you.

Sessions are 50 minutes, and you can choose weekly or fortnightly depending on what works best for you.

Therapy only works when you have a trusting relationship with your counsellor, so the first session is to introduce ourselves and see if you feel comfortable with me, to see if you feel you might be able to share with me.  There's no pressure, you can decide you want to continue, or decide you would rather keep looking.

I will explain about confidentiality, answer any questions you have, and if you feel comfortable, what has brought you into counselling.

Introduction sessions are £35
