I currently have availability within my practice

My working days are Tue - Thurs and Saturdays

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor offering a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space in which you can explore whatever has brought you to counselling. I work at a pace that feels right for you, with care, curiosity, and respect for your individual experience.

To my work I bring a deep appreciation for the diverse experiences that shape who we are. My personal and professional journey has involved living and working across different cultures and communities, which has heightened my sensitivity to issues of identity, belonging, transition, and resilience, themes that often arise in therapy.

I came to counselling through my own journey of self-reflection and healing, which gave me a lived understanding of how powerful it can be to feel truly heard and met with compassion. This experience continues to inform how I work, allowing me to meet clients with openness, honesty, and respect for their unique stories.

Life can be difficult at times, and in those moments it is easy to lose touch with our inner strength, wisdom, and sense of direction. From a Person-Centred perspective, I believe that the decision to seek help is often where this inner wisdom becomes most visible. Another meaningful moment follows in choosing who to turn to for support, which can also be guided by an inner sense of what feels right.

In the first session, when we meet and begin to form the foundations of the therapeutic relationship, we create space to notice and honour this inner process. The session allows us to begin building connection, trust, and understanding, and to sense whether we can work together in a way that supports healing, growth, and change. In this way, the first session becomes a shared confirmation of whether entering a therapeutic relationship together feels appropriate and supportive.
