Life can look fine from the outside while feeling very different on the inside. You may be carrying grief that has never fully been processed, feeling exhausted by work and responsibilities, or struggling with a persistent sense of not being good enough despite everything you have achieved. Perhaps you've spent so long holding things together for others that you've lost sight of what you need.

I offer online counselling for adults navigating grief, loss, burnout, low self-esteem and life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure why they keep finding themselves in the same painful situations. Together, we create a space to explore what is happening beneath the surface and make sense of your experience.

Clients often tell me they feel genuinely heard in our work together. I listen carefully, remember what matters, and help connect patterns that may have gone unnoticed for years. Difficulties we face in the present are often linked to past experiences, relationships or beliefs that continue to shape how we see ourselves and the world. By understanding these patterns, we can begin to make different choices and create meaningful change.

My approach is warm, thoughtful and collaborative. I aim to create a space where you feel safe enough to explore difficult feelings while also offering honest reflection and gentle challenge when helpful. I believe meaningful change begins when we feel truly seen and understood, and when we start to recognise the experiences that have shaped us.

My own experience of grief and therapy led me into this profession and continues to shape the care, compassion and understanding I bring to my work today.

Whether you are struggling with bereavement, burnout, self-worth or a major life change, therapy can help you understand yourself more deeply, develop greater self-compassion and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Many of the people I work with have spent years carrying difficult emotions on their own. Some are grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a career, or a version of themselves. Others feel exhausted by constantly being the strong one, while privately struggling with self-doubt, stress or a sense that something is missing.

My practice offers a space where you do not have to carry those experiences alone.

Our work together is not about quick fixes or giving advice. Instead, it is an opportunity to slow down, reflect and understand what may be contributing to the difficulties you are facing. As therapy progresses, we often begin to identify patterns in thoughts, emotions, relationships and behaviours that may have developed over many years. Understanding these patterns can help you make sense of your experiences and relate to yourself with greater compassion.

Clients often tell me that one of the most valuable aspects of our work is feeling genuinely listened to. I pay close attention to what you share, remembering details from previous sessions and helping you connect experiences that may initially seem unrelated. This often leads to new insights and a deeper understanding of yourself.

I work in a way that is warm, collaborative and non-judgemental, while also offering honest reflection where helpful. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel safe enough to explore their experiences openly and curious enough to understand what lies beneath them.

Whether you are navigating grief, burnout, low self-esteem, life transitions or a difficult period in your life, therapy can help you develop a clearer understanding of yourself, a kinder relationship with yourself, and a greater sense of direction for the future.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you've never spoken to a counsellor before. It's completely normal to feel unsure, nervous or even wonder whether therapy is right for you.

Before booking a session, I offer a free 30-minute introductory call. This gives us an opportunity to briefly discuss what has brought you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and see whether we feel like a good fit to work together. There is no pressure or obligation to continue after this conversation.

In our first session, I will take time to understand what has brought you to therapy and what you would like to gain from the process. We will explore any significant experiences, current challenges and concerns at a pace that feels comfortable for you. There is no expectation to share everything immediately.

My aim is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood and with a clearer sense of how we might work together moving forward. This is also an opportunity for you to decide whether I am the right therapist for you.

I work online, allowing you to access therapy from a space where you feel comfortable and secure. All you need is a private space, a stable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone.

Many clients tell me they feel relieved after the first session simply because they no longer have to carry everything alone. Whether you are struggling with grief, burnout, self-worth or a difficult life transition, we will begin wherever you are.
