For when being hard on yourself has become exhausting.

Perhaps you spend a lot of time overthinking, worrying about what other people think, or feeling like you鈥檙e never quite good enough. You might be constantly comparing yourself to others, struggling with shame or self-doubt, or finding that your emotions are so overwhelming that you don鈥檛 know how to cope.

Maybe, on the outside, you seem like you鈥檙e managing. But inside, you鈥檙e exhausted from trying to keep everything together.

If you鈥檙e struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, self-harm, overwhelming emotions or the lasting effects of difficult experiences, you don鈥檛 have to work through it alone.

I鈥檓 Steph, an integrative counsellor based in Mansfield. I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can be yourself without worrying about getting things 鈥渞ight鈥�.

I believe that you are the expert in your own experience. Rather than telling you what you should do, we鈥檒l work together to understand what you鈥檙e going through, where these difficulties may have come from, and what could help you move forward.

My approach is humanistic and integrative, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on what feels right for you. Most importantly, I want you to feel heard, understood and safe enough to explore the things that may be difficult to talk about elsewhere.

I have particular experience supporting people experiencing self-harm, anxiety, low self-worth, shame and emotional difficulties. Alongside my private practice, I have volunteered supporting female survivors of domestic abuse at Nottinghamshire Women鈥檚 Aid, and provided counselling to NHS healthcare staff.

You don鈥檛 need to have everything figured out before you reach out. You don鈥檛 need to know exactly what鈥檚 wrong, or even know what you want from counselling.

Sometimes, taking that first step is simply about having somewhere safe to start.

If any of this sounds familiar, you鈥檙e welcome to get in touch. We can arrange an initial conversation and see whether I might be the right counsellor for you.

The first initial consultation is a free 15-20 minute phone call, during which we can explore your needs for therapy and you can get a sense of whether I am the right therapist for you.

I offer weekly therapy with regular timeslots.
