Sometimes life can feel small. You might feel stuck in a way of thinking or living that no longer fits. Or something may have happened that’s changed how you see everything.

If this sounds familiar, I can help. I offer a safe, confidential space to talk things through and understand yourself better. I came to this work because I believe people don’t need to stay stuck in the situations they find themselves in.

I’m a fully qualified, BACP-registered therapist, trained in psychodynamic and trauma-informed therapy. I work with people 18+ on issues including trauma, sexual assault, addiction, bullying, boarding school, family relationships, domestic abuse and LGBT+ concerns.

Book a free 20-minute call to see if we’re a good fit.

I was once told ‘this too will pass’ and I have found the difficulties in my own life have done so. However I could not do it alone, as it felt too tough a journey to be on. Looking back today, I am glad I had a counsellor to listen to me and support me throughout my journey. You may feel as I did overloaded, confused and questioning why? As your counsellor I will to listen to you with empathy and compassion, help you see your strengths and show you kindness as you work through your challenges. With my support, over time your difficulties will too will pass and you will be able to lead  the life you want. I believe counselling gives us the space to get to know the real self. My aim is to help you get your life back on track.

Whatever your current situation I want to help you build a vital, engaged and satisfying life. There are times when we all feel stuck and defeated. And yet if we open ourselves to the possibility of change then a way forward can be found. Working together as a team we will explore your current situation identifying both strengths and sticking points. I will encourage you to investigate your own experience using methods like ACT and Emotion Focused Therapy. Through new experiences a fresh, more workable, way of being in the world will emerge.
I provide a calm, safe environment which allows you to talk freely about your thoughts and emotions. My approach is based on building a trusting relationship, which enables both support and challenge.

My approach is based in person-centred, mindful therapy which is less directive and more enabling you to recognise and develop your own inner resources. They are present within you but may have become entangled, buried or distorted through challenging life experiences. I offer a warm, welcoming and safe space to explore with you, how together, we unravel the knots to reveal who you are really meant to be, moving towards living a peaceful and joyful life.

In my approach, I place importance on exploring the root cause of the problem and provide an affirming therapeutic space to facilitate change. A therapeutic relationship that is accepting and non-judgmental makes space for growth and healing. Psychotherapy and counselling invites an exploration of challenging past experiences and focuses on processing the feelings we hold as a result of these experiences. At the heart of our work together we will seek to understand our emotions and work alongside them. As we work through the foundations of patterns, behaviours, and feelings in a safe and supported environment, we gain greater insight into ourselves, this is where we can make significant change.
