A space to be yourself

Person-centred counselling for adults navigating life's challenges, cultural identity and belonging.

Perhaps you spend a lot of time overthinking, trying to meet other people's expectations or feeling that you need to be a certain version of yourself to fit in.

You may be navigating relationships, family pressures or the feeling of being caught between different worlds. Perhaps you have spent years trying to understand yourself, or you simply need somewhere to pause and talk without feeling judged.

I'm a qualified person-centred counsellor and I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

My professional experience includes counselling in secondary school and GP surgery settings, following a career in marketing. I have a particular interest in neurodivergence and the experiences of second-generation immigrants, including the ways identity, culture, family expectations and belonging can shape our sense of self.

You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. We can start with what's happening for you now.

I appreciate that making initial contact can sometimes feel like a big step. You are welcome to share a little about what has brought you to therapy at this time.

I currently offer online and in-person sessions and would be happy to discuss availability with you.

A brief initial conversation by phone or videocall can help us determine whether working together feels like the right fit.
