About me and my therapy practice
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to face it alone. Whatever you’re going through right now, there is a way forward—and therapy can help you find it. If you’ve found your way here, you might be looking for a space where you can talk openly and truly be heard. I provide a supportive counselling space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours at your own pace.
Whether you are dealing with a long-standing issue/s or navigating a particularly challenging period, together we will work towards a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships, and your situation. We will explore personal solutions, which may include making significant changes or developing coping strategies for challenges that cannot be easily resolved. You are at the centre of our work together, and therapy will be shaped around your unique personality, needs, and goals, so you feel truly seen and supported every step of the way.
Areas I work with most often:
- Trauma
- Abuse (physical, emotional, sexual)
- Anxiety, Depression & Isolation
- Anger, shame or emotional numbness
- Low self-esteem, people-pleasing and perfectionism
- Relationship difficulties (including with self)
- Burnout, stress & career struggles
- Life Transitions
Practice description
My own adverse life experiences have shaped my ability to offer genuine warmth, compassion, and connection, allowing me to support people from a wide range of backgrounds. I understand how important it is to feel heard, understood, and validated, and as a counsellor I bring empathy, intuitive thinking, and attentive listening to every session.
I believe the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful counselling. As we work together, I will challenge where appropriate to support personal growth, but I will always provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can openly explore your thoughts and feelings.
Having worked in both the NHS and private practice, I recognise that every individual brings their own unique story, shaped by personal experiences, cultural contexts, and current challenges. With this in mind, I work collaboratively, adapting my approach to reflect what feels most helpful to you.
My counselling style is flexible and integrative, drawing on different therapeutic methods and techniques to best meet the individual needs of each client. At the heart of my practice is a commitment to fostering greater self-awareness, resilience, and emotional well-being, supporting you to move towards positive change in your life.
