I believe that therapy is most effective when you feel safe, accepted and truly heard. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work, providing a space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences without fear of judgement.

My approach is grounded in psychodynamic counselling, recognising that our past experiences and relationships can continue to shape how we think, feel and relate to others today. Together, we can gently explore these patterns, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and make sense of what may be affecting your life in the present.

Alongside my Level 5 ÌÇÐĹÙÍø Accredited training in psychodynamic counselling, I have completed an accredited CPCAB Level 6 Diploma in Trauma Focused Therapy. This additional training enables me to adapt my approach to meet your individual needs, always working collaboratively and at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.

I work with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including trauma, anxiety, bereavement, relationship challenges and significant life transitions. Whether you come with a specific issue or simply a feeling that something doesn't seem quite right, I offer a warm, calm and confidential space where we can begin to make sense of your experiences and find a way forward together.

Welcome to a space where you can be heard.

Seeking counselling can feel like a significant step, whether you're facing a particular difficulty or simply have a sense that something doesn't feel quite right. I offer a warm, calm and confidential space where you can talk openly, feel heard and begin to make sense of your experiences.

I work with adults aged 18 and over, offering counselling in person from The Treatment Hub in Basingstoke and online throughout the UK. My work is grounded in psychodynamic counselling and supported by additional training in Trauma Focused Therapy, enabling me to tailor my approach to your individual experiences and needs.

I have experience supporting people with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including trauma, anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship challenges, childhood experiences, life transitions and the impact of long-term health conditions or caring responsibilities.

Alongside my private practice, I also work as a counsellor within charitable services, supporting adults experiencing a broad range of emotional and psychological difficulties.

I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling safe enough to explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. Whatever has brought you to counselling, my aim is to help you make sense of what has happened, understand yourself more deeply, and find a way forward.

I offer a free 30-minute introductory telephone consultation before arranging our first counselling session. This gives us the opportunity to discuss what has brought you to counselling, any questions or concerns you may have, and whether we feel we're the right fit to work together.

If you decide to continue, our counselling sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly. During our first session, we'll explore what has brought you to therapy, discuss your hopes for counselling, and begin to build a shared understanding of how we might work together.

There is no pressure to commit after the introductory call. Finding the right counsellor is important, and I want you to feel comfortable and supported in making the decision that's right for you.
