You may be finding that anxiety, worry or low mood are starting to take up more space in your life. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, stuck in difficult thoughts, uncertain about a relationship, or questioning parts of yourself or your direction in life. You might notice your mind constantly analysing situations or replaying conversations long after they鈥檝e happened. At times, your thoughts may feel difficult to quiet or move on from, even when you want to. Whatever has brought you to consider therapy, I offer a calm, confidential and supportive space where you can begin to explore things at your own pace. I am an integrative counsellor based in Holywell, North Wales, working with adults across a range of emotional and psychological difficulties.

I have a particular interest in supporting people experiencing anxiety, including intrusive thoughts, ongoing worry and patterns of thoughts that can begin to feel difficult to manage or switch off from. My professional experience includes providing counselling within NHS Occupational Health to NHS staff, alongside work within charitable organisations. I have supported individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-harm, stress, relationship difficulties, and challenges relating to food and body image.

My approach is integrative and guided by you. I draw on person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches, allowing our work together to be shaped around your individual needs, experiences and goals. Together we may explore how past experiences continue to influence the present, look at patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and develop a deeper understanding of what may be contributing to your current difficulties. This can also include exploring the different 鈥渧oices鈥� or patterns within us and how they influence the way we think, feel and respond to situations. Through this process, therapy can offer ways of building greater self-awareness, self-compassion and a greater sense of freedom in how you choose to respond to life鈥檚 challenges. Where it feels helpful, I may also introduce practical coping strategies to support you between sessions, while allowing space for reflection and longer-term change.

I place strong importance on the therapeutic relationship and on creating an environment where you feel safe, respected and genuinely heard. I understand that starting therapy can take courage, especially when talking about experiences that may feel painful, confusing or overwhelming. My aim is to offer a professional, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you feel supported throughout the process.
