I am currently doing up my therapy room which will be ready soon - I am presently offering sessions online and via telephone. This provides a flexible and accessible way to engage in therapy from a space where you feel most comfortable.

I believe counselling should be accessible. I offer a sliding scale from £10 to £45 per one hour session, allowing you to pay what feels affordable within that range.

Therapy with me is not about rushing change or forcing outcomes, but allowing growth to develop at a pace that feels right for you. I work in a calm, consistent way, bringing focus, warmth, and careful listening to each session. Creating a space where you feel safe and able to speak openly is central to my practice. My approach is person-centred, meaning I see you as the expert in your own life, and our work together is shaped by your experiences and what matters most to you.

There’s no set agenda, and you don’t need to come with a clearly defined problem. I see therapy as a flexible, collaborative space where we can explore what matters to you at your own pace, allowing the process to unfold in a way that feels natural, supportive, and meaningful.

Rather than trying to “fix” anything, I focus on understanding your perspective and supporting you to make sense of things in your own way. The aim is to provide a space where you can reflect, explore, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I’m a therapist with both professional training and lived experience of mental health struggles, including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and chronic anxiety. My experience of OCD has predominantly involved intrusive thoughts, which I know can be deeply distressing, frightening, and often misunderstood. Alongside this, I have lived with chronic anxiety, including periods of derealisation, where the world can feel unreal and disconnected. Having navigated these challenges personally, I bring deep empathy and practical understanding to the therapy room. I know first-hand how isolating and overwhelming these experiences can feel, and I’m committed to offering therapy that is compassionate, non-judgemental, and grounded in genuine understanding. My aim is to provide a safe space where you can explore your experiences, feel heard, and work towards greater confidence and resilience.
