Feeling stuck in something from your past?

I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where you can explore your experience, make sense of things, and begin to move forward in a way that feels right for you.

You might find yourself going over things—trying to understand them, or feeling unsure how to move forward.

It could be something recent, or something that’s been there for a long time but hasn’t fully settled.

At times, this can show up as feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of yourself.

In these moments, it can be difficult to make sense of things on your own. Having a space where you can talk openly, and be listened to without judgement, can begin to make a difference.

In our work together, there is space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface and to understand your experience more fully.

As that understanding develops, things can begin to feel clearer, and you may find a different way of relating to what’s been difficult.

You don’t have to go through this on your own.

My approach

I work in a person-centred way, offering a supportive and confidential space where you can talk openly, at your own pace.

There’s no expectation to have clear answers or know where to begin. We start with whatever feels most present and explore it together.

Rather than giving advice, I aim to help you understand your experience more fully and find your own way forward.

Areas I can help with

I work with young people and adults, supporting a range of experiences, including:

• Feeling stuck or unable to move forward
  
• Anxiety and overthinking
  
• Low mood or loss of direction
  
• Relationship difficulties
  
• Bereavement and loss
  
• Past experiences affecting the present
  
• Self-worth and identity
  
• Neurodiversity-related challenges
  

Whatever you’re bringing, we can take the time to explore it together in a way that feels manageable and right for you.

My background

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked for nearly 30 years in secondary education, supporting young people and families, including those with additional needs.

During that time, I experienced my own period of feeling stuck and uncertain, which led me to seek counselling.

That experience had a lasting impact and ultimately led me to retrain as a counsellor. It continues to shape how I work, particularly my understanding of how important it is to feel heard, accepted, and not judged.

Getting started

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s natural to feel unsure.

I offer a free introductory conversation, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right for you.

If something here feels familiar, you’re very welcome to get in touch.

Our first session is a relaxed conversation about what’s brought you here and what you might want to explore.

You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable. There’s no pressure or expectation—just a supportive space to begin to see whether this feels right for you.
