I am currently taking on new clients both Face-to-Face and Remotely. 

Working hours are Monday-Friday 9-7

If you're struggling with personal issues and need someone to talk to, I'm here to offer you a warm, safe, and confidential space where you can explore your life experiences without fear of judgment. I will listen with empathy, care, and understanding, and help you work through whatever challenges you're facing.

Life events can leave us feeling unlike ourselves, and seeking help can be overwhelming. As a qualified counsellor, I have experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and the unique experiences that come with neurodivergence. I understand how difficult it can be to feel stuck or unmotivated, and I’m here to offer you support, whether you’re navigating day-to-day difficulties or more deep-rooted concerns.

I currently work as a Specialist Mental Health Mentor with university students, as well as a private counsellor supporting adults and teens. This dual role allows me to draw on a broad range of experience—offering not just therapeutic presence, but also practical tools when appropriate.

How I Work

At the core of my practice is a Person-Centred approach, where you are in control of the direction and pace of the sessions. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can process your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly.

While person-centred values guide my work, I also draw upon techniques from other modalities—particularly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—to help you explore values, build emotional flexibility, and find more helpful ways to respond to difficult thoughts or feelings. Where appropriate, I may also draw on my mentoring experience to offer practical strategies or resources that align with your goals, always with your consent and collaboration.

Whether you're looking to explore deep emotional issues or seeking support with focus, motivation, or managing overwhelm, sessions can be shaped to meet your unique needs.

Experience

I have a broad and diverse background in the mental health field, with particular expertise in supporting neurodiverse individuals and those facing emotional or psychological challenges.

Currently, I serve as the Support Services Manager for the Non-Medical Help (NMH) team at my company. In this role, I oversee support provision for university students experiencing barriers related to mental health and/or neurodiversity. Alongside this, I work as a Specialist Mentor, delivering one-to-one sessions that combine elements of counselling and practical strategies to help students manage their mental health and overcome personal and academic challenges.

I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with ADHD and autism, both in educational and therapeutic settings.

My counselling experience includes working with:

Helen Rollason Cancer Charity – providing emotional support to clients living with cancer, as well as to their family members. This involved offering a safe, non-judgmental space to explore feelings and experiences during a deeply challenging time.

Anglia Ruskin University – offering counselling support to students presenting with a wide range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

First Steps:

Starting counselling can feel daunting, which is why I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation. This is a chance for us to talk about what you’re hoping to gain from therapy, and for you to get a sense of whether you feel I’d be the right fit for you.

I offer both face-to-face and remote sessions, depending on your preference. My private practice is based at Tindal Square, in the heart of Chelmsford City Centre—an inviting, peaceful space designed for therapeutic work. For those who prefer the convenience or comfort of working from home, I also offer online and phone counselling, which many clients find just as effective and rewarding as in-person work.
