Ever felt that quiet nudge, like life is shifting, but you’re not quite sure where it’s leading?  You might be rethinking old patterns, reassessing what truly matters, or sensing that a deeper version of yourself is ready to emerge.  It can be exciting, messy, and sometimes a little confusing, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I work with people who are exploring this next chapter, who want to understand themselves more deeply, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. Whether you’re navigating a major transition or just feeling the quiet pull of inner growth, you’re in the right place.

So, take a breath. You don’t have to have all the answers today. If any of this resonates, I’d love to hear from you.

As a qualified therapist, I'm here to help you really focus on your thoughts and feelings to highlight the choices you have more clearly - something that everyday life doesn’t always allow. 

All feelings are welcome. I'm a calm, compassionate and down-to-earth person, and I'm here to help.

Areas of experience:

• Life Transitions and Life Purpose
• Self-Identity and Self-Worth
• Relationship Challenges
• Career and Money
• Managing Stress and Anxiety

Therapeutic Techniques:

I use a variety of techniques alongside talking therapy, tailored to your specific needs, including somatic breathwork, sand tray therapy and guided self-reflection. My approach is collaborative, and I work to support your growth and well-being.

My training and experience with a wide range of clients allows me to use various therapy techniques to suit you and I tailor my approach to match your specific needs. I'll support you in finding your own answers, focusing on your unique experiences, so you can tackle life's challenges and reach your potential.

I offer a free 20 - 30 minute initial phone or online consultation to explain my approach and what counselling could look like. We can talk about what has led to you seeking therapy, your current challenges and I'll ask you to share any relevant background information. We can figure out how we might work together and if you feel comfortable working with me.

There is absolutely no obligation to book any further sessions, but if we are a good fit, we can schedule your first counselling session and I will send you a working agreement. This outlines our mutual commitments and goals, and I will ask you read, sign and return it before we meet. 

Our first session in person or online will be tailored to your pace and comfort level. We’ll explore whatever you feel ready to discuss. The aim is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel empowered to move forward.

I currently have a few online appointments available across the week.

The Midlife Therapist - Online Counselling for Midlife

Ever felt that quiet nudge, like life is shifting, but you’re not quite sure where it’s leading?

Midlife can be a time of change, reflection, and maybe even reinvention. You might be rethinking old patterns, reassessing what truly matters, or sensing that a deeper version of yourself is ready to emerge. It can be exciting, messy, and sometimes a little disorienting, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I work with people who are exploring this next chapter, who want to understand themselves more deeply, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. Whether you’re navigating a major transition or just feeling the quiet pull of inner growth, you’re in the right place.

So, take a breath. You don’t have to have all the answers today. If any of this resonates, I’d love to hear from you.

About Me:

I am a compassionate and warm therapist specialising in online support for midlife clients through the challenges and transitions you face. My goal is to help you navigate this transformative period with confidence and self-compassion.

I come to this point with my own broad and varied life experience. Raising children, loss, financial difficulties and changing hormones have all been part of my life too, so I fully understand and empathise with the complexities and demands on you.

My clients tell me they feel heard, supported and empowered by me, that they feel safe to speak their darkest fears and that I help them feel lighter and positive about the next chapter.

If you're interested in exploring therapy with me further, please do get in touch by email to arrange a no obligation online chat - I will do my best to respond within 48 hours. Please check your junk / spam folders for a reply.

I work online with midlife clients, who are navigating significant life transitions or dealing with the many challenges that midlife throws at us, to find a renewed sense of purpose and fulfilment.
