Counselling offers a safe and supportive space for whatever you may be facing. Whether its depression, anxiety, anger, low self-confidence, the pain of relationship breakdown, or simply feeling stuck, counselling can help. Together well explore your challenges, build resilience and support you in moving towards a calmer, more confident and fulfilling life.
About me and my practice
As an integrative counsellor, my approach is centred on you and your unique experiences. Being integrative means I can draw on a range of therapeutic models and theories, tailoring our work to suit your individual needs, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. At the heart of my practice is the belief that counselling is most effective when the relationship feels safe, supportive, and genuine.
I offer a space where you can bring whatever is on your mind without fear of judgement. Whether youre struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, anger, loss, caring for others, or simply navigating one of lifes difficult chapters, counselling can provide the understanding and support you need. And sometimes there doesnt have to be a clear label for what youre feeling, life can just feel hard, and thats reason enough to seek support.
In our work together, you remain at the centre. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to walk alongside you, helping you to explore your thoughts and feelings, uncover strengths, and find ways forward that feel right for you. I believe in creating a compassionate and collaborative environment where you can feel truly heard, valued, and supported.
Counselling can help you build resilience, increase self-confidence, and create more balance in your life. My aim is to support you not only through challenges but also in discovering new ways to thrive, so that you can move towards greater wellbeing, clarity, and fulfilment
Experience
I gained my counselling experience through a charitable trust, where I worked with people facing a wide range of challenges. This gave me the opportunity to work in a supportive and professional environment, and to develop a depth of understanding that I now bring into my private practice.
Alongside my counselling training and experience, I have spent over 20 years working closely with people as a massage therapist. That work gave me a strong appreciation of how lifes stresses and emotions can affect both body and mind, and it taught me the value of listening with empathy and care.
Working with people has always been my passion. As a counsellor, I offer a safe and welcoming space where you can bring whatever feels important for you. My aim is to support you with compassion, integrity and respect, so that together we can work towards greater wellbeing, resilience and a stronger sense of self.
