Hello and welcome! If you're looking ahead and want positive change, well done in taking that first step. It would be a privilege to be part of your journey to healing. I provide a counselling service that is entirely tailored to your needs.

​

As a qualified counsellor and trauma therapist, I am deeply passionate about empowering individuals to overcome their challenges and live life free from the limits imposed by past experiences. My work focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, process trauma, and develop the skills needed to heal and thrive. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and transformation, and I am dedicated to guiding each person on their unique path to emotional and psychological well-being. Whether working with individuals coping with anxiety, loss and bereavement, depression, life transitions, trauma and stress, my goal is to help people regain control of their lives, embrace resilience, and achieve a fulfilling future.

As a person-centred counsellor, I believe that we all possess an innate ability to grow and develop in a positive direction. However, we also have a basic need for love and acceptance and this need is particularly important in childhood when our dependence on our primary caretaker is so strong. When conditions are attached to the love we receive, then we begin to form a self that conforms to the conditions and we move away from a more authentic way of being. We begin to live for others and not for ourselves.

​

I seek to redress this imbalance by building a particular kind of professional relationship with you. My stance is of an open-minded enquirer who passes no judgement or opinion on what you talk about. My concern, rather, is to understand you and the context in which you live and have lived. My focus will be on you, the person, and not the problem.

The integrative nature of my work allows me to bring in other modalities which we believe may be useful, for example including but not only, CBT, mindfulness, breath work, compassionate enquiry and compassion-focussed therapy. The continuous and consistent experience of this kind of relationship creates a safe enough environment that allows you, the client, to risk deeper disclosure and, ultimately, to experience a liberating emergence into a fuller, richer way of life.
