Whether you feel stuck in life, would like a sense of peace and clarity, or perhaps feel completely overwhelmed and hope to find a way through life’s difficulties, together we can explore the path you’ve taken and where you would like it to lead. I offer warmth, empathy and acceptance to create an environment, not only to seek an understanding of where you are now, but for you to feel comfortable and confident in your life choices in who you want to be.

Whilst my foundations are in person-centred counselling, I believe that every person is unique and I will work with you holistically to tailor our sessions to suit you as an individual.

Together, we will seek to find a place where you feel more content with life, and ready to move forward into a brighter future.

​I work with a range of issues, including: anxiety, depression, low confidence, low self-esteem, negative thinking, self-criticism, health anxiety, bereavement/grief or loss, work and life stresses, anger management, relationship problems, domestic violence.

I also have experience in: neurodiversity, living with cancer, life limiting illness, and long-term health conditions.

​I believe we all have the resources within us to know what’s best for ourselves and I will support you to find your inner strengths, and to explore your own resolution in a non-directive way, offering my skills and experience to help view your life challenges from a new perspective.

As a dedicated counselling professional, my goal is to provide you with a supportive and non-judgemental environment where we can navigate your challenges together, and find clarity and peace in your journey towards emotional healing and personal growth.

​I offer a compassionate listening ear and therapeutic support in a safe, calm and confidential setting. I provide online and telephone counselling, allowing time and space to talk through and process your concerns, where you can freely express yourself and feel truly heard. I welcome the opportunity to work with you to explore ways to move forward, where you feel in control of the process and are comfortable with the pace.

​​I have worked alongside Mind, counselling people with a diverse and varied range of problems. My experience includes supporting patients therapeutically within NHS cancer services. I have both training and practical experience working with neurodiversity.

Caring for those in cancer services for over 15 years has instilled in me a strong desire to promote the wellbeing of others. Additionally, my own personal experience of a positive therapeutic relationship has led me to, and shaped, the counselling services I feel proud and privileged to be able to now offer others.

I will forward an assessment form and well-being questionnaire for you to complete so that I can better understand your needs prior to our first session.

I then offer a free 20 minute introductory session so we can discuss what you want out of counselling, how I work, and give you the opportunity to ask any questions or find out more about my services.
