About me and my therapy practice
Many people I work with feel stuck, anxious, or unsure of who they are anymore. Life looks 鈥渇ine鈥� on the outside, but inside there鈥檚 a sense of numbness, overwhelm, or not feeling truly yourself.
I help adults and young people explore what鈥檚 going on beneath the surface鈥攐ld patterns, early experiences, and the pressures to cope or achieve鈥攁nd support them in finding a way of living that feels more real, connected, and grounded.
As an ex-boarder, I also work with people affected by the long-term emotional impact of boarding school.

About me and my therapy practice
As a child you learnt to cope by shutting down, staying competent, not letting feelings get in the way. Maybe you were sent away and had to cope on your own. Then, later in life, something gave. Anxiety hit. Grief surfaced. Relationships got shaky. The old 鈥渉old it together鈥� strategy didn鈥檛 work for you anymore.
If you recognise that what鈥檚 happening for you might be because you had to grow up too soon, leaving parts of you behind, counselling can help you explore how those early adaptations shaped your life, and you can begin to meet yourself with understanding rather than judgment. Life can be more than just surviving. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and paced to support you in feeling safe enough to open up and experience genuine emotional connection.
If this resonates, you鈥檙e welcome to get in touch to see whether working together feels right for you.
Practice description
I offer counselling by online video, telephone, in-person and offer home visits in the Chichester to Havant area.
When we work together, the focus is on you and your experience. Sessions are a confidential, calm space. Together, we鈥檒l explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns at a pace that feels safe, helping you gradually uncover a sense of self that is more authentic, grounded, and yours.
