I am enhanced DBS certified and fully professionally insured.

I specialise in working with teenagers and adults in their 20s and 30s who may be struggling with a range of challenges that can cause emotional, mental and even physical pain. These challenges may arise from issues related to anxiety, home life, academic or work stresses, social pressures and health issues, just to mention a few, often impacting on overall well-being and development.

When these challenges overlap, they can exacerbate each other, leading to feelings of hopelessness or being overwhelmed. Without proper support, you may struggle to express your emotions, leading to behaviours like avoidance, withdrawal, aggression, or even self-harm as coping mechanisms.

Working together, our focus will be to help you better understand and manage your thoughts and feelings so that they feel less crushing. We will work through your difficulties and build your resilience to take you forwards in the journey towards understanding, healing and growth.

My approach is person-centred and I draw on techniques including CBT, mindfulness and transactional analysis to ensure that every session is tailored to your unique needs and preferences. I also like to provide you with practical tools, techniques and resources that you can take away to support yourself through life.

My clients say that working with me has helped them to feel more empowered to respond to the challenges in their lives, and more able to build resilience and self-reliance. 

If you are exploring whether counselling might be right for you I encourage you to contact me to set up a free 15-20 minute introductory video (or telephone) call.

It will be an opportunity for you to talk about what is concerning you and what you hope to get from counselling. I will explain how the counselling process works, including confidentiality and privacy and what you can expect from working with me.

If you feel you would like to go ahead with counselling we can arrange weekly follow on sessions (50 minutes) on a day and time that suits you.

Together, we will work towards understanding and overcoming the issues that may be holding you back.
