There are times in our lives when we notice that we don’t feel ok and that we need to move from that place, but don’t know how. In these times, counselling can offer a safe, private and confidential space to notice and share anything which doesn’t feel ok. It offers room to take care of, and notice ourselves. Only you can know best. I feel that through the relationship of counsellor and client we can work to notice or re-notice yourself. We might also find new ways of learning to cope with the pressures of life, or re-find old ways of supporting yourself that you have forgotten. (We can work creatively if you enjoy that).
I am a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor & Supervisor - we can be flexible in how we approach our sessions. We can use Person Centred (talking therapy), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gestalt, Sandplay or other creative ideas in our work together. Whatever suits your personality or needs. I also have experience working with clients with Autism/ADHD.
Throughout the past 24 years as a Teacher, Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo) and as a Counsellor, I have recognised the importance for every human being (no matter what their age) of having a ‘voice’. That we all seek to feel safe, to be noticed and validated as ourselves, to be enough just as we are. At times we may need help to get there...

If you are neurodiverse I am happy to adapt my way of working to suit you. At times we might be sharing how the world (and the people in it), feels to you. If you are in distress, we can work together to find practical solutions and strategies, to manage, and hopefully alleviate, your feelings of overwhelm, worry or any other difficult to process feelings, you might be experiencing.

We can start to work on a plan for our sessions. This plan is flexible and can be creative :) The counselling space is yours, and I'll be alongside you, gently offering insights & ways forward.
