Online sessions only

Weekday, morning and afternoon sessions available—please get in touch to check availability or to arrange a discovery call.

Hiya, I am a warm, empathic and down-to-earth Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor with a genuine nature. Offering a space where your thoughts, feelings and story can be heard, valued and understood. Enabling you to feel free to be your authentic self. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and we'll move at your pace as we explore your unique experience and what matters most to you. Whether you're navigating stress, loss or personal growth. 

What I Specialise In

Life Transitions: Helping you navigate significant changes, such as, moving, starting a new chapter, or shifts in relationships

Work-related issues: Stress, burnout, and professional challenges

Bereavement and loss: Supporting you through grief, whether it's the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, career change, or other forms of significant loss

Support Through Trauma and Adversity: Supporting individuals directly and indirectly affected by serious youth violence, or those helping others through challenging experiences

Personal development: Supporting self-esteem, confidence and aspirations

I’m also open to working creatively together if that’s something you’d find helpful. Such as - journaling, reflective tasks, or psychoeducation to enhance the process and support your growth between our meetings.

Working creatively is not for everyone, and so I tailor each session to suit your needs. My approach is always client-focused and we’ll find a way of working together that feels right for you.

If you are interested in working with me, I would encourage you to contact me for a free 20 minute discovery call. This gives us a chance to briefly discuss your needs and my ability to help, and for you to ask any questions. If we decide to move forward, I'll send a client intake form to be completed before your first session.

The initial 50 minute session is an opportunity to further explore what brings you to therapy, as well as, your hopes, expectations and desired goals and outcomes.

At the end of the session, there's no obligation to commit - time is given for you to reflect and decide if continuing feels right for you.

If you are ready for the next step, feel free to make contact to arrange a consultation call or to learn more.

I look forward to hearing from you.

 I am a warm, genuine and attentive counsellor working in an integrative and relational way. 

My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and person-centred thinking. This allows therapy to stay shaped around your individual and unique experience, while also gently exploring how your past experiences, relationships and life events may continue to influence your thoughts, feelings, and patterns in the present. 

The relationship we build together is an important part of the work. I aim to offer authentic and supportive space where you feel heard, valued and understood. Therapy is collaborative and your experience, pace and feedback help shape how we work together.

I engage in regular supervision, reflection and ongoing professional development to ensure my practice remains safe and ethical. 

Who I work with

I have a particular interest in supporting people experiencing:

• Anxiety and persistent worry
• Overthinking and rumination
• Self-doubt, imposter syndrome and low confidence
• Burnout and emotional exhaustion
• Feeling stuck, disconnected, or insure how to move forward
• Life and career transitions
• Relationship and family difficulties
• Grief, bereavement and loss
• ADHD-related challenges
• Identity, cultural and life experience issues
• Personal growth and self-development

Together, we can explore what's happening beneath the surface and develop a clearer understanding of your experience.

What you can expect

Sessions offer a space to talk about what feels difficult, unclear or emotionally heavy.

We start with what feels most present for you, with no pressure to have things organised or figured out. It can take time to settle in and feel comfortable, and we will go one step at a time.

I will listen for patterns and themes in how you experience yourself and others. I may share reflections where helpful, and we will explore your thoughts together as they come up.

Where helpful, we may include journaling, worksheets or visual prompts between sessions.

Over time, this can help things feel lighter, clearer and more manageable.

If we decide to move forward, I will send a short in-take form, along with a counselling agreement and online session guide before the first session.

This helps you understand more of how we will work together and gives me a sense of your support needs.

The first session is 50 minutes and gives space to explore your current situation in more depth, along with what you hope to gain from therapy. 

At the end of the session there is no pressure to decide right away. you're welcome to take some time if needed, to reflect before deciding whether to continue.

If you decide to start, we begin working together once the counselling agreement has been signed.

If you're ready to take the next step, you can get in touch via email or visit my website to arrange an introductory call.
