About me and my therapy practice

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.

About me and my therapy practice

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.

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.
