I am currently taking on new clients online

Starting your counselling journey can be a daunting and overwhelming experience, but you have already taken the biggest step in looking for therapy. Perhaps something in particular has brought you here, but you may not be sure what you need – I am here to help you through your journey.

Counselling can dramatically change a person's life, you have the ability to get through what you're going through. You will never know your full potential until you give yourself a chance.

I provide a safe, secure, affirming space where we can work together to identify and navigate your emotional wellbeing to create change, bringing you a greater sense of internal peace. In my sessions I specialise in using arts and play as well as talking therapy to make the sessions as comfortable, fun and productive as possible.

The relationship is crucial in achieving therapeutic progress and my warm and non-judgmental approach is a key factor in establishing trust with clients. I ensure the client feels safe to talk freely, and always work at my client’s pace.

Since opening my practice, my counselling services have helped many people get through stressful challenges by looking at negative thought processes and understanding the source of specific behaviours or emotional patterns. With the right tools and a new perspective, a better outlook may not be so far away.

Please feel free to get in touch, I offer a free initial session Via online Video call where we can work out what the best approach would be.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor, holding a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and CPCAB Level 5 in working with children and young people. I am an integrative counsellor which means I use a variety of different therapeutic approaches to support your needs. Including Person centred, talking therapy, CBT alongside using a creative approach. ​I am fully insured, hold an enhanced DBS certificate and am registered as a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists BACP. I am incredibly intuitive and find working along side people helping them enlighten their journey a magical experience.

I believe that every single human being has healing to do, including children and young people. Improving self-awareness and an outlook of troubling situations are just two of the ways in which counselling can dramatically change a persons life. 

For me it’s really important that we will be able to form a relationship. I believe by offering a free initial session Via online Video call we can work out if I am the right counsellor for you and determine the best approach to gain an insight of how we move forwards.

I currently have availability

As an experienced qualified Integrative Counsellor, I work intuitively with my clients, building what I can only describe as a real and empowering connection. With that connection, trust and a safe space we have the right combination to address any needs that arise  

Saying something out loud can be a powerful and profound experience. Together we can break down barriers, thinking patterns or sit with the emotions that come to the surface and help find a brighter and more fulfilling life.

I work a wide range of mental health challenges including ADHD, anxiety, OCD, self-harm, suicide ideation and neurodivergence naming just a few, with both adults and children.

​I have often found myself not fitting into the normal boxes society expects, but have learnt that it's not always necessary to fit specific expectations. Embracing this difference can be challenging but very rewarding. I encompass the same thought in my counselling world, it doesn't always fit everyone and I am happy to work with you to tailor an experience that suits your needs as an individual, working both online and in person.

I believe the start of a great counselling journey begins with a good initial connection. Therefore I offer a free 30 minute initial discussion online. In this session we would explore what you would like to gain from the counselling process and what I could offer you to support that. This also gives you the space to decide if I am the right counsellor for you.

I work with a vast range of mental health challenges including ADHD, depression, anxiety, OCD, self-harm, suicide ideation and neurodivergence to name just a few, with both adults and children.

I have found in life I haven't fitted into the normal boxes society expects, but have learnt that it's not always necessary to fit others expectations. Embracing differences can be challenging but incredibly rewarding. I encompass the same belief in my counselling world. Not all Counselling styles fit all people therefore together we can find a style that fits you. It can be daunting to start and difficult to know exactly what you want or need, but I am happy to work with you to tailor an experience that suits all your needs, as an individual in a way that feels comfortable for you. I work both online and in person, with each brining their own unique benefits.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me :) 

Life can be difficult, hard, challenging and to be able to have a confidential safe space outside of your social norms to discuss what it's really like for you can be life changing. To be truly heard and supported, not judged, or criticised can offer a different dimension to how you feel and the choices you make. Allowing yourself the space to grow in areas that may have been overlooked can be liberating.

With this in mind I provide a safe, secure, affirming space where we can work together building an empowering connection to help identify and navigate your emotional wellbeing and resilience. I can help by providing tools to support growth and resilience and give you a greater understanding of how your mind works whilst bringing you a greater sense of internal peace. If you cannot believe in yourself right now, I am willing to believe in you, until you can believe in yourself.
