Practice description
Relational challenges:
I am experienced in supporting those who have encountered challenging relationships with parents, partners, work colleagues or leaders of organisations. I understand the lasting impact of how negative experiences in relationship can impact us, especially where narcissism and control have been a dominant feature. These experiences can leave you feeling confused and isolated. They can also create a sense of imposter syndrome, where you begin to doubt and question your own abilities.
I also understand the challenges that can arise from relational breakdown; including divorce, infidelity & difficulties with communication.
I provide a safe space for you to rebuild trust in yourself, so you can begin to develop confidence in discovering your authentic self.
Adulting in a non linear world:
We can experience many transitions throughout adulthood, especially in the earlier stages. Navigating education, work, accommodation and finance are becoming increasingly challenging to manage. it is also a time of questioning relationships, boundaries, purpose and identity.
You don't have to navigate these challenges alone. Together, we can explore your experiences to gain clarity with the purpose of developing a greater understanding of self.
bereavement & loss:
I have great empathy supporting those who are navigating a new way of living after experiencing loss. To develop my understanding in this area, I will begin a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy in September, 2026. I have considerable personal understanding of how bereavement impacts identity, change to relational dynamics and uncertainty of the future. Loss and bereavement is not always connected to the death but also when we encounter life changing events; such as, divorce, career change, or when children are no longer dependant on parents.
I hope to offer a compassionate and supportive space where you can process your experience of loss and make sense of the changes you are facing.
