Founder of Mind & Soul Counselling | Qualified Integrative Counsellor | BA (Hons) Integrative Counselling | MBACP | MNCPS (Acc.)

I offer inclusive, compassionate counselling tailored to individuals and couples.

Areas I support: Anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, OCD, domestic abuse, narcissistic abuse, bereavement, low self-esteem, difficult childhood experiences and relationship difficulties. I also offer couples counselling and pre-marital counselling.

My approach draws on Psychodynamic, Humanistic, CBT and Transpersonal Psychology. I recognise that everyone's experiences and needs are unique and we will work collaboratively at a pace that feels right for you.

I aim to provide a safe, respectful and non-judgemental space where you feel heard, seen and understood. Through empathy, gentle challenges and practical strategies, I support you in exploring difficult experiences, understanding unhelpful patterns and developing tools to support your emotional well-being and personal growth beyond our sessions.

I have gained valuable experiences with organisations including Mind, part of the NHS Talking Therapies and Safer Places, supporting people affected by domestic abuse.

Taking the first step into counselling can feel daunting. We can explore your experiences together and work towards greater self-understanding, emotional well-being and meaningful change.

For those wishing to explore spiritual, religious or cultural aspects of their lives, I can incorporate Transpersonal Psychology into our work. I value how our identities, beliefs and experiences shape our understanding of ourselves and the world.

I welcome clients of all backgrounds and genders and strive to create a space where you feel respected, valued and able to explore your experiences without judgement.

Are life experiences overwhelming? Is facing these challenges daunting?

Let's work together through any difficulties you have, whether related to past trauma, present stress or future uncertainty.

I offer a Humanistic approach, where you can feel truly heard, accepted and valued – you are worthy! I will help you explore your feelings in a way that fosters deeper self-understanding, especially when dealing with low self-esteem, anxiety or depression. You can connect with your inner strength and promote personal growth in a safe space, where you can begin to heal.

With Psychodynamics, we can explore how past experiences may still influence your present. Maybe childhood issues, PTSD, domestic abuse, bereavement, working through these can achieve healing.

CBT can help challenge negative thought patterns that impact you. This approach is especially effective for managing stress, OCD, anxiety and depression. Equipping you with practical tools can create continuous change and progress.

Are you exploring deeper meaning in life? Transpersonal Psychology can help you find spiritual or cultural connection and insight, offering clarity.

Incorporating Solution-Focused Therapy, I will help you focus on your strengths, find practical solutions and set achievable goals for the future. We will explore ways to move forward and empower positive change.

Throughout sessions, I will introduce mindfulness techniques and emotional regulation tools to help you stay grounded and resilient, especially when facing trauma or anxiety. This enhances well-being during our sessions and beyond therapy, empowering continuous growth.

I am committed to Continuous Professional Development, ensuring that I remain informed and up to date with the latest therapeutic techniques and research, to support your healing.

My integrative approach is applied to your specific needs. This is your journey. We will walk together, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

To ensure you are comfortable with the therapeutic process, I offer a free 10-15-minute phone or video call before booking your first session. This call is relaxed and pressure-free. This is an opportunity to ask any questions and get a feel for whether I am the right counsellor for you. If you are attending as a couple, this is a great chance for both of you to share your goals and ensure you feel comfortable moving forward.

If we decide to continue, we will schedule a time that works for you. In our first full session, we will begin exploring what has brought you to therapy. Whether you’re working toward specific goals or simply need space to process emotions and experiences, our sessions will be tailored to meet your unique needs.

For individuals, therapy may focus on:

• Trauma, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem
• PTSD, OCD, or childhood issues
• Bereavement, overwhelming emotions or relationship difficulties
• The impact of domestic or narcissistic abuse
• Pre-marriage support

For couples, therapy can help with:

• Communication breakdowns
• Recurring conflict
• Feeling emotionally disconnected
• Pre-marriage sessions to explore expectations and build a strong foundation for your marriage

Navigating major life changes or transitions

For couples, I create a balanced, non-judgemental space where both partners can feel heard and supported. Together, we will work towards strengthening communication, understanding and connection.

You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Whether you’re seeking help for yourself or your relationship, we can take the first step together toward emotional well-being and a deeper connection.
