About me and my therapy practice

Hello, and welcome.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving you stressed, unhappy, or unsure of who you are anymore. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to face it alone.

I’m here to work alongside you, helping you explore your world and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. Together, we can uncover your inner strength and resilience, supporting you to live a more confident and fulfilling life.

I offer a warm, safe, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what’s troubling you. Our sessions can include talking, listening, and creative approaches — whichever feels right for you.

I work with couples, adults, and young people aged 15+, supporting you to navigate challenges in a respectful and confidential environment built on trust and understanding.

Taking that first step can feel daunting, but it’s also the beginning of change. If you’re ready to explore what’s going on for you and start moving forward, I’d be honoured to walk beside you on that journey.

Practice description

In addition to my private practice, Purple Steps Counselling, I also work as a Secondary School Counsellor. Previously, I have worked at The Chilterns Neuro Centre, South Bucks Hospice, Time to Talk (adolescent counselling service), and One Recovery Bucks.

I work from a beautiful, nurturing hut in my garden, offering a calm and private space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions.

My approach is Integrative, meaning I draw on a range of therapeutic models to suit your individual needs. Together, we’ll find a way of working that feels right for you. Some people prefer to talk, while others find it easier to express themselves creatively — through play, drawing, painting, or sand tray work.

I have experience supporting people with a wide range of challenges, including:

depression, anxiety (generalised and social), grief and loss, low mood, family and relationship issues, trauma, work-related stress, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, long-term or life-limiting illness, ASD, ADHD, menopause, divorce and separation, women’s life changes, and low self-esteem.

Whatever brings you to counselling, I offer a safe, compassionate, and confidential space where you can explore what’s happening for you — and begin to move towards understanding, healing, and growth.
