🌿 Sprout for growth

 Person-Centred Counselling 🌿

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or stuck?

Talking can help – and you don’t have to go through it alone.

Person-Centred Counselling is a gentle, non-judgemental approach that helps you explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. You are the expert in your own life – counselling offers a safe, supportive space where you can be truly heard and understood.

How Person-Centred Counselling Works

✔ You decide what you want to talk about

✔ You are listened to with empathy and respect

✔ You are supported to find your own answers

✔ There is no judgement or pressure

✔ We go at a pace that feels right for you

The counselling I provide works by building a genuine and trusting relationship, where you can feel safe to explore difficult experiences, emotions, or patterns in your life. With the right support, healing and personal growth can begin.

What Can I Help With?

This service supports people with a wide range of issues, including:

• Anxiety and stress

• Depression and low mood

• Grief and loss

• Life changes or feeling stuck

• Low self-esteem or confidence

A Special Focus

While I work with many different challenges, I have a particular passion and experience in supporting people who are:

💔 Living with or healing from domestic abuse

🔒 Experiencing or recovering from coercive control

🎭 Dealing with narcissistic abuse and emotional manipulation

I understand how complex and isolating these experiences can be, and I offer a space where you can begin to rebuild trust in yourself and others – at your own pace.

🌱 What to Expect in Your First Counselling Session

In your first session with a Person-Centred Therapist, the focus is on creating a safe, welcoming environment where you can begin to explore what has brought you to counselling. You’ll have the chance to talk through your hopes, concerns, and any difficulties you’re facing at your own pace. Together we will complete a Mental Wellbeing Score (such as the PHQ-9 or Core 10) to help understand where you are emotionally and to track your progress over time. You’ll also review and agree on a Counselling Agreement — a simple document that outlines confidentiality, session length, boundaries, and what you can expect from your therapist. This session is about building trust, helping you feel heard, and laying the foundations for your personal growth and healing journey.
