I work varying hours, please get in touch to discuss. 

I am a therapeutic counsellor offering a warm, respectful and confidential space for you to explore whatever you are facing, at your pace, in your own way. 

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma or navigating loss, I am here to work alongside you.

I bring experience from working with clients facing a wide range of challenges and issues, including:

Domestic abuse (past and present)

Bereavement and grief

Trauma

Relationship difficulties with experience supporting both heterosexual and same-sex couples

Childhood trauma and abuse

Anxiety, depression and low self-esteem

Chronic illness and long-term physical pain

Self-harm

And much more

I work primarily from a client-centred perspective, which means I believe you are the expert in your own life. My role is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences freely, at your own pace.

Client-centred approach is based on the belief that healing happens when you are truly heard, understood and accepted without judgement. It is a collaborative and relational approach. This is not about giving advice or analysing you but about working alongside you with empathy and respect as you move towards greater self-awareness and clarity.

I also take a trauma-informed approach when supporting clients with Complex PTSD and other trauma, ensuring sensitivity and care around the impact of past experiences.

Alongside this, I sometimes draw on elements of integrative counselling, including:

CBT – to explore and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Psychodynamic approaches – to consider how early experiences shape current feelings and patterns.

Gestalt therapy – to focus on the here and now, bringing awareness to how past experiences may influence the present.

Transactional Analysis (TA) – a practical framework for understanding how we relate to ourselves and others, including the ‘scripts’ developed in early life which may affect relationships and decision-making.

I initially offer a free 20 minute consultation. I will ask you to complete an assessment form prior to your first session. I will also provide you with a copy of our contract which we can go over during your first session.
