Íø±¬ÃÅ

I offer counselling on a part-time basis and aim to provide flexibility around days, times, and how sessions are accessed — whether by phone, video, or in person.

I’m sharing this so you can make informed choices and find a way of working together that feels right for you.

Walking Alongside You

Let’s walk this path you are on, side by side for a while — gently exploring what’s here, and what might lead you toward peace, purpose, and a better way through life.

That’s the spirit in which I offer counselling. I work hard to keep my skills and expertise at a level that supports you well. I’m proud to hold Íø±¬ÃÅ Accredited status — a professional recognition of my commitment and experience. I continue to develop my practice. I’m currently exploring a research project to deepen and broaden my work even further. My work is supervised by Mervyn Reid, Registered Member MÍø±¬ÃÅ (Accredited).

I am committed to walking alongside you with care, compassion, and curiosity as you navigate the curve balls life can throw. My approach is collaborative and person-centred, meaning you are always in the driving seat — we go at your pace, with your needs leading the way. 

Some of the areas I regularly support clients with include:

* Stress and anxiety

* Trauma and abuse (including non-recent and childhood trauma)

* Grief and loss

* Depression and low mood

* Menopause-related challenges (trained with RSPH, NHS & Health Education England, 2022)

* Relationship issues, including polyamory and conscious uncoupling

* Goal-directed support and single-session interventions

You can expect to be met with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. We will work together to tailor a plan that fits you — your circumstances, values, and goals.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and balanced life takes courage. I’m here to support you in that process and to walk with you on your journey toward a better place.

My Training with Children and Young People

Although I work with adults, I hold specialist therapeutic training in counselling children and young people. This deeply enriches my work with adults — particularly when it comes to attachment patterns, family dynamics, and early life experiences that continue to influence how we live and relate as adults.

A Note About the Counselling Process

It’s important to know that counselling can sometimes feel challenging. There may be times when you feel emotionally tired after a session, or notice things feel a little heavier before they begin to ease. This is part of the process of healing and change.

When possible, I encourage you to give yourself time and space after a session — whether that’s going for a walk, having a bath, listening to music, or anything that feels nourishing and right for you.

Who I Work With

I work with individuals — **adults, young adults, and children** — offering each person a therapeutic space that’s safe, respectful, and entirely your own.

Ways We Can Work Together

* Face-to-face sessions (from my home-based practice)

* Online counselling (flexible, accessible, and secure)

* Long- and short-term therapy

* One-off, single-session interventions

At our first meeting, I’ll share more information about how I work and introduce some gentle assessment tools that can support our work together. It’s also a chance for you to get a feel for me and how I work. Most importantly, it’s your opportunity to decide whether I’m the right therapist for you — and I fully support you having the agency to make that choice with confidence and comfort.
