I work exclusively online and by telephone, offering video sessions via WhatsApp and Microsoft Teams.

I am available Monday to Friday, 9:30am-2:30pm, and Saturday mornings from 9:00am-12:00pm.

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss availability or arrange an initial session.

I am a person-centred counsellor, which means I believe individuals have the capacity for growth, change and healing when provided with the right therapeutic conditions. My role is to offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

Alongside my person-centred foundation, I work in an integrative way. This means I may also draw on additional tools and strategies where appropriate, depending on your needs and preferences.

My aim is to build a therapeutic relationship where you feel understood, respected and supported. I offer both short-term and long-term online and telephone counselling. Some clients prefer a focused approach to a specific issue, while others benefit from longer-term support. We will work collaboratively to decide what best meets your needs.

I have particular experience working with:

• Anxiety and stress
• Low mood and depression
• Domestic violence and it's impact
• Neurodivergence
• Chronic pain and long-term health conditions

In our first session, we will go through your counselling agreement and personal information form. I will send these by email before our first appointment for you to complete and sign in advance.

We will then review them together, including key aspects such as confidentiality and the importance of trust within the therapeutic relationship. This also gives us an opportunity to begin to know each other in a safe supportive way.

You will have a space to ask any questions or raise any concerns you may have about the process. We can then explore your reasons for seeking counselling and what you would like to gain from our work together, including your goals and expectations.

I’m available:

I am a person-centred counsellor, which means I believe individuals have the capacity for growth, change and healing when they are offered the right conditions. My role is to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

Alongside my person-centred foundation, I work in an integrative way. This means I may also use psycho educational tools where appropriate, depending what feels most helpful for you.   

I have a particular interest in supporting adults affected by difficult family relationships, domestic abuse, trauma, and neurodivergence. I offer both short-term and long-term counselling online and by telephone. 

Difficult Family Experiences.

Many people I work with have grown up in difficult, unpredictable, or emotionally challenging family environments. You may have felt criticised, blamed, overlooked, or responsible for the needs of others.

These experiences can affect self-esteem, relationships, boundaries, and the way you see yourself long into adulthood. Together, we can gently explore these experiences, helping you make sense of the impact they have had and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Domestic Abuse and Trauma.

This is an area I care deeply about and have experience supporting through my work within a domestic abuse charity.

You may be recovering from emotional, psychological, coercive, financial, sexual, or physical abuse. You may be left feeling confused, questioning your own experiences, struggling with self-doubt, or carrying feelings of shame and self-blame.

I work in a trauma-informed way, recognising how difficult and traumatic experiences can continue to affect your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Where helpful, I can offer psycho-education to help you understand the effects of abuse and trauma, supporting you to rebuild confidence, self-compassion, and trust in yourself.

ADHD, Autism and Feeling Different.

I support adults who are ADHD, autistic, or exploring whether they may be neurodivergent.

Are you feeling exhausted from masking, overwhelmed by emotions, struggling with self-criticism, anxiety, procrastination, or feeling misunderstood? As someone with lived experience of ADHD, I understand some of these challenges personally.

Counselling can provide a space to explore your experiences without judgement, helping you develop a greater understanding, acceptance, and appreciation of yourself. 

In our first meeting we read through our counselling agreement and personal information form. I will send these by email before our first appointment for you to complete and sign in advance. 

We will then review them together, including key aspects such as confidentiality and the importance of trust within the therapeutic relationship. This also gives us an opportunity to begin getting to know each other in a safe and supportive way. I can answer any questions or concerns you may have.
