As of 21/05/25:

I currently have availability on Tuesday and Friday afternoons.

Please note, Friday appointments will not be available throughout August

I also have a small number of slots available at a reduced rate for trainees and benefits recipients.

When was the last time you felt truly heard, without interruption, advice, or judgment? In my work as an outdoor counsellor, I offer space for exactly that kind of listening. Walking side by side through woodland, we make room for your thoughts, feelings, and experiences to unfold at your own pace.

Nature offers a calming, grounding presence; an alternative to the intensity of a face-to-face indoor setting. The gentle rhythm of walking, surrounded by trees and birdsong, can help thoughts untangle and words flow more freely. It鈥檚 a soothing backdrop for reflection, self-exploration, and healing.

Maybe you鈥檙e feeling anxious, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Perhaps you鈥檝e come through a toxic or damaging relationship, whether that's romantic, familial, friendship, or professional, and are left carrying shame or self-doubt that should never have been yours to hold.

Therapy isn't always easy; there are moments of discomfort, vulnerability, and real inner work, but that鈥檚 not to say it can鈥檛 also be enjoyable. Past clients have kindly reflected on my warmth, gentle nature, and sense of humour 鈥� therapy doesn't always have to be serious! I believe in holding space with empathy and presence, while also offering lightness, perspective, and gentle challenge where it may help.

If you trust me to walk this journey with you, I will respect you as the expert of your own experience and meet you with care and respectful curiosity. If you feel that this way of working might suit you, you鈥檙e warmly welcome to get in touch.

I chose to name my practice Neoma, meaning 鈥渘ew moon,鈥� because I feel it reflects the quiet, nurturing nature of personal change that counselling can bring. The new moon might be easy to overlook, yet it signals a fresh beginning. In my experience, healing often begins in a similar way, with a quiet shift, a gentle turning inward, and a slow, steady return of hope.

While outdoor walk-and-talk therapy is at the heart of what I offer, I also provide indoor face-to-face sessions at Sheffield Wellness Centre on Abbeydale Road, as well as online via Zoom, so you can access therapy in whichever way feels most comfortable or practical for you.

Each session lasts 50 minutes and costs 拢50.

Whether we meet in the woods, in a room, or on a screen, I often draw on the grounding qualities of nature and mindfulness in our work together. I may share reflections through metaphor and symbolism, or gently introduce creative elements when words feel stuck or don鈥檛 quite capture what you鈥檙e feeling.

As a therapist, I use a person-centred approach, which means I walk alongside you, following the topics you choose to explore, supporting you to hold ownership over your own healing journey.

Therapy can be short-term or ongoing, with sessions weekly or fortnightly depending on what suits you. We can discuss your availability, preferences, and hopes in your initial session.

Our initial session is an opportunity for us both to get a sense of how our work together might look, and for you to get a feel for whether I am the right therapist for you.

Counselling is most effective when you experience a positive connection with your therapist. For this reason, I offer the first session at a reduced rate of 拢25, to allow you to experience a no-pressure taster without a huge financial commitment.

In this initial 50 minutes together, we can outline the key areas you would like support with and discuss how you would like your therapy to be structured. I will ask you to complete a short questionnaire, and will then explore relevant topics a little further to help me build a clear picture of your world and what has lead you to seek counselling. This allows me to then assess how best to support you moving forward. I also invite you to use this session to ask any questions you may have of me and my practice so that you have the information you need to decide whether you would like our work to continue from here.

There is absolutely no obligation for you to commit to further sessions unless you feel confident that is something you'd like to do. I'm more than happy for you to go away and think about it, and only ask that you get back to me within a week so that I can offer that space to somebody else if you don't wish to take it.

However you choose to proceed, I hope our time together offers you a moment of calm and the beginning of something healing and hopeful.
