About me and my therapy practice
You deserve a life that feels like yours – and I can help you find it.
Do you ever feel out of sync with yourself, your relationships, or the life you imagined living? Maybe your own needs have slipped to the bottom of the list, leaving you wondering if life could feel more balanced, more joyful, more you.
Life doesn’t have to feel this hard. If you’ve been carrying the weight of expectations, juggling responsibilities, and quietly asking, “Is this really how life is meant to feel?” – it’s time for something different.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you – because you’re not broken. It’s about creating space to slow down, breathe, and rediscover your voice, your choices, and your power. You deserve a life that feels authentic, connected, and truly yours.
Practice description
I offer a compassionate therapeutic space grounded in empathy, sincerity, and respect. My approach is person-centred, placing you at the heart of everything we do. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking clarity, I provide a safe, non-judgemental environment where you can feel truly heard and supported as you begin to reconnect with yourself.
Over the years, I’ve worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, supporting clients through challenges such as anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement, addiction recovery, and neurodiversity awareness and exploration (including ADHD and autism). This experience has deepened my understanding of how unique and personal every journey is.
Each session is tailored to meet you where you are – honouring your pace, your needs, and your goals. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and how you can move forward with greater confidence and self-awareness. For those who prefer written communication, I also offer Email and Messenger-Based Therapy, providing an accessible alternative to video or phone sessions.
My aim is simple: to help you live a more fulfilling life – whether that means navigating grief, managing life transitions, setting boundaries, or breaking free from patterns that no longer serve you.
You don’t have to do this alone – let’s start today. Your future self will thank you.
My first session
Starting therapy can feel like a big step – but your first session is simply a space to feel heard and supported.
Our initial 50-minute session is a gentle introduction to counselling, giving you time to share what’s brought you here and what you hope to gain. There’s no pressure, no judgement – just an opportunity to begin building a connection and explore what matters most to you.
We’ll talk about what’s happening for you right now, identify areas you’d like to focus on, and consider what kind of support feels most meaningful. This conversation lays the foundation for a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and collaboration.
Sessions are held via secure online video platform, with a link sent straight to your email for easy access. Prefer something different? I also offer telephone therapy and Messenger-Based Therapy for those who feel more comfortable writing.
Not sure if this is the right fit? I offer a free 15-minute video consultation – no obligation, just a chance to see if this feels right for you.
