Hi and welcome. You have taken the first step to improving the quality of your life. That takes courage, you should be proud of yourself for that. Having worked with a wide range of people, who have all brought different challenges to the therapy room, please feel free to bring what is troubling you. Whether you are feeling things are getting on top of you and you are feeling anxious or a bit depressed, or feel stressed and that you have no belief or trust in yourself, experiencing difficulty to put thoughts into words, we can work together to support you to challenge this and increase your confidence to (re)build your resilience.

The most important aspect of success in counselling is the relationship between us. I tailor the approach to your needs in collaboration with you so that ultimately you can become your own therapist, by applying new skills and techniques to determine positive patterns of thinking and behaving. I understand that coming for therapy can be a bit scary or daunting, even if you have been before, meeting someone new can be challenging especially if you’re feeling vulnerable or out of sorts. Choosing to come for therapy is about caring for and prioritising your own needs, and allowing yourself time and space to think things through.

Life can be messy, and when challenges come our way we can easily become overwhelmed. Sometimes we need a safe, confidential space to air out our thoughts to figure things out. If you are looking at my profile, it may be that you are experiencing some struggles. I believe that our unique contexts and past experiences come together to tell the story of who we are and the things that we struggle with. I use my warm and compassionate stance to help people feel at ease to explore mental health difficulties and life’s challenges to bring about meaningful change and encourage resilience.

Are you are here because you have important things to discuss but nowhere to express them? Does being you feel difficult? Do you long for connection but struggle with being in contact? Perhaps it is confusing to be asked how you are or what you need? Life may feel overwhelming just now? Do you struggle with belonging? Possibly everything changed around you and left you feeling lost and uncertain? You are not alone in these feelings and they don't have to define you. I offer you the space to speak out the thoughts and feelings that seem too much to talk to anyone about, you can say what you need to and be heard without judgement.

Therapy isn’t just for when things are falling apart; it’s for anyone who wants to navigate life’s challenges a little more smoothly. My approach is collaborative and adaptable, ensuring that the therapy we engage in is tailored specifically to meet your needs and goals. I have years of experience supporting people facing difficult and life changing circumstances including diagnosed mental health conditions. However, I believe in working with individuals rather than focusing solely on disorders or diagnoses, recognising the uniqueness of every person’s experience.

Looking for a counsellor is already a brave step. My hope for you, is that we can explore whats distressing you, what’s maintaining it and how we can bring about positive change. Anxiety, Low Mood and Relationship struggles amongst others, are all issues we can face at various times in our life. Understanding ourselves better and how to best cope can begin to alleviate the discomfort felt in emotional distressing times. Therapy provides a safe space to explore what's keeping you stuck, what's driving it and how to unlock yourself from thinking and behaviours that no longer serve you.

Life can become difficult for many reasons, and we all need support at times. I am caring, empathic and passionate about supporting people to overcome their difficulties. Anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, trauma, relationship problems, sexual difficulties and low self-esteem are some of the things I can support you with. I have a particular interest in life transitions, especially menopause. However, therapy sessions don’t need to be limited to times of distress. Therapy can give you space to focus on your personal growth. It is a great way to take time to explore yourself, your needs and prioritise self-care.
