Currently accepting face to face (in person) and online sessions.

It isn't easy to reach out for help but by reading this, you have taken that first step.

Do you often feel sad, nervous or worthless? Do you wonder if you matter to anyone or to yourself? Do you feel lonely even when you have friends or family around you? Or do you feel haunted by something in your past?

You are not alone. Many people face these inner struggles, and they can make you feel like you don't belong anywhere but I have learned, both from my work and my own life, that these challenges are part of being human.

Life can be challenging and overwhelming at times, and we may face various problems such as anxiety, depression, grief, self-worth, relationships, and trauma. We may feel down, unhappy or sad and not understand the reason. Sometimes this can be too hard to cope with and we may need some help.

Whatever you bring to our counselling sessions, you can be assured that you can share it freely and without any judgement, no matter how big or small you think that your issues are. I’m here to listen.

As a qualified person-centred counsellor, I trust that you are the best expert on yourself but we will work together to explore what is troubling you and find a way for you to move on. 

I will provide a safe, judgement free space for us to collaborate, where you can gain a better understanding of your emotions and how your experiences might be impacting you.

I offer a free 30 minute first session.

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other a bit and see how we can work together. You can check out my working style and environment and get a feel for it. The room is cosy, safe, private, confidential and peaceful.
