Life doesn't always turn out as we imagined it would. You may be navigating changes in your relationships or family life, struggling with motherhood or co-parenting, or finding that somewhere along the way you've lost touch with who you are.

I offer warm, compassionate and non-judgemental counselling for adults online and by telephone. I work with a range of concerns including anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, loss, loneliness, stress and significant life changes.

I have a particular interest in supporting women and mothers, including those navigating separation, co-parenting or complex family circumstances. You don't need to fit neatly into any of these experiences to contact me.

As a person-centred counsellor, I won't tell you what to do or assume that I know what is best for you. Instead, I'll listen with empathy and genuine curiosity, giving you space to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

Counselling can help you make sense of what you're experiencing, understand yourself more deeply and begin to find a way forward that feels right for you. Reaching out can feel daunting, so I aim to create a relationship in which you feel safe, heard and accepted.

You don't need to arrive at a session knowing what you want to talk about. You can take your time, bring whatever feels most important that day, and speak as openly or tentatively as you need to.

The relationship between us is at the heart of how I work. I won't give you advice or direct you towards a particular decision. Instead, we'll make space for whatever you're experiencing, including feelings that may seem contradictory, difficult to explain or hard to share elsewhere.

I offer short- and longer-term counselling online and by telephone. If you're unsure whether counselling with me might feel right for you, we can arrange a free introductory telephone conversation first.

After you contact me, we can arrange a brief introductory telephone call free of charge. This is an opportunity for you to tell me a little about what has brought you to counselling, ask any questions and get a sense of whether I might be the right counsellor for you.

There is no obligation to book a session afterwards. If you would like to continue, sessions last 50 minutes and cost £50.
