Are thoughts and emotions impacting your life, causing anxiety, stress, or low self-esteem? Finding the right therapist is so important, but I understand it isn't easy and can add to anxiety, especially if seeking help for the first time...

I'm a qualified Integrative counsellor working with teenagers and adults. I offer a space to reflect on your concerns and explore the changes you would like to make. I currently help clients to overcome and manage stress, anxiety, and depression, while also addressing life changes, trauma, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem.

My approach...

Is calm and welcoming, I share my human side and sense of humour (when appropriate!) and really enjoy building a rapport with my clients.

Together, we can...

• Explore past experiences and the impacts on your present life.
• Address low self-esteem by developing self-compassion.
• Understand how trauma can impact the body and mind.
• Develop effective coping strategies, to help with overwhelming emotions and reduce the impact of any trauma-related triggers.

Counselling offers you an opportunity to regain control and move towards a happier and balanced life.
