Are you feeling anxious, depressed, lost, lonely, or disconnected from others? Have you lost a loved one and are feeling overwhelmed by grief? Perhaps you are struggling with thoughts such as “I’m not good enough” or “I can’t cope.” You may also find yourself turning to things like work, shopping, exercise, food, drugs, or alcohol as a way of coping with difficult feelings.

If any of this resonates with you, please know that you are not alone. I offer a warm, empathic, and safe space where you can talk openly about whatever is on your mind, without the fear of judgement. This might be something happening in your life right now, or experiences from your past that continue to affect you today.

My approach is gentle, thoughtful and collaborative, and I believe that meaningful change can happen when we feel safe enough to sit with our experiences honestly. Together we can explore your thoughts, feelings and the challenges within your life and relationships, at a pace that feels right for you, with the aim of supporting you in developing greater understanding, self-compassion, and the confidence to move forward.

I am a humanistic integrative counsellor, which means I draw on a range of counselling approaches working holistically and relationally, I tailor each session to your individual needs.

My work is trauma-informed, and I incorporate techniques such as inner child work, mindfulness, breathwork, and body-based approaches. These help to gently support the nervous system and create conditions where emotional processing can happen more safely and naturally. I also use the Flash Technique, a method that can reduce the distress connected to difficult or traumatic memories without requiring you to revisit them in detail.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and have developed particular interests in bereavement and addiction, completing the Awareness in Bereavement Care training with Cruse and work as a Sessional Addictions Therapist at the Priory.

Bereavement

Losing someone you love can feel devastating and disorienting. Grief is a deeply painful and personal experience that can sometimes feel completely overwhelming.

There is no “right” way to grieve. It can bring many different emotions and all of these are valid. Each person’s experience of grief will be different, depending on who we have lost and the circumstances surrounding their death. Grief can also arise from many other kinds of loss: the end of a relationship, the loss of health or work, or the loss of hoped-for children.

Grief can feel incredibly lonely, especially when it seems that life is continuing for everyone else around you. Please know that you do not have to face this alone. I will be there with you as you begin to process your grief, moving at a pace that feels right for you.

Sometimes people worry that healing means letting go of the person they love, or that moving forward means leaving them behind. In our work together, we can find ways to continue your connection with the person who has died, while gently supporting you to rebuild your life around your grief.

Addiction

I offer a compassionate, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about your substance use or addictive behaviours. There is no shame in finding yourself here, many people reach a point where something that once helped them cope with painful feelings or difficult experiences begins to feel harder to control, or starts to affect their relationships, wellbeing, or daily life.

You may find yourself wanting to stop or cut down, yet feel caught in a cycle that is difficult to break. That tension is exhausting, and reaching out for support takes real courage. 

Together we can explore your triggers, patterns of use, and the difficult emotions, thoughts, relationship dynamics, and life stresses that may be contributing to and maintaining this cycle. The aim is to support you in developing greater self-awareness and healthier coping strategies as you move forward.

Sessions are typically weekly, and I work with clients both in person and online. If you feel that I may be the right counsellor for you, please do get in touch. I offer a free 10–15 minute phone call so we can get to know each other and you can share what you’d like to focus on. 

We can then both get a sense of whether continuing with our first session feels right. In our first session we can agree a framework for working together for either a fixed number of sessions, or we can leave it open ended depending on your individual needs.
