Please note - I am not currently taking clients due to being on maternity leave until November 24. I am an experienced, empathic, creative therapist, working with children, young people, and adults who may be experiencing stress and low mood, worries, or feel down about themselves. I support individuals who have experienced trauma, or who are struggling with difficult life experiences. I have training and experience in both therapeutic person centred counselling, creative therapies, and cognitive behavioural therapy, so can adapt my approach to meet your needs. Being a mum myself, I understand how important support is for families.

Counselling & Couples Therapy are very normal, and transformational at the same time. I offer a safe, confidential space to be you. Here we can explore what is troubling you, what's working for you and what isn't; who you are, and what you want out of life. Give yourself the time to simply sit down, breathe and talk freely. I am a warm, thoughtful, sensitive, and empathic therapist, and I bring compassion, intuition, creativity, humour, and an eye for life’s details to my practice. Alongside my formal training I draw from a broad life experience including motherhood, travel, a career in cake design, and my own therapeutic journey.

Making the decision to talk to a therapist about how you are feeling can be one of the toughest ones you’ll make, but it can be life changing. Depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, bereavement, a life changing decision, relationships, work, identity, a diagnosis, supporting someone else and feel forgotten, neglected, perhaps you are just drifting and feeling lost without purpose. A new problem or one that has been buried within for years. Share and be liberated without judgement. I will support you into your positive future, without camouflage or disguise.

I am a qualified Person-Centred psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. I will provide you a non judgemental, accepting and empathic environment, where we can look more closely at the distress you are feeling and how it is impacting your life. We will explore what your needs are and with that your decisions and potential for growth can become clearer and more fully formed. By creating a trusting therapeutic relationship, we can navigate your thoughts, feelings and experiences (past and present) to better understand how they have worked together to form your understanding of who you are and how you perceive yourself in the world.

I’m an Integrative Relational Psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience. The essence of my practice is 'person-centred' in that I am always led by the client's needs as presented to me. In this way 'therapy' is always grounded in the trans-formative power of trusting and collaborative relationships. Our work together should then stand as an open invitation to go beyond our sense of limitation and to help establish a greater sense of well-being, meaningful identity and purpose.

You may be feeling stuck, or overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings. You may be struggling with past experiences or what’s going on for you now. Maybe you’re figuring out what’s important to you right now and how you’d like your life to be. Your relationships with friends and loved ones may be tricky or unsatisfying. Perhaps you're finding yourself in familiar situations time and again and would like things to be different but you’re not sure how to make it happen. Whatever your unique reasons are for looking for a therapist, I imagine you’ve already been trying hard to figure things out on your own.

Counselling is about you. You may come with worries and concerns, feeling unsure about which direction to take, feeling stuck or weighed down. Counselling is also about us. We will develop our relationship in a safe space where you can talk about anything. For some, this may be initially difficult. Though counselling isn’t meant to be easy, you may feel that it gets easier beyond the opening sessions. You will be the judge of how deep we go and when you are ready for this to happen. I believe that healing takes place within the relationship where I offer warmth and understanding along with genuineness.

If you (or your child) are seeking support to overcome some challenges in your life, counselling is a great way to explore your difficulties in a safe and non-judgmental space. A key part of the counselling process is the therapeutic relationship and I believe that due to my age this allows me to support you in greater ways. I empathise and understand the anxieties and pressures put on you by school/exams/university, the impact that growing up with social media and having an online persona can have on your self-esteem, how delicate family/friend relationships can be and the difficulties they can put onto you.
