Whether you are finding things difficult or simply want to understand yourself more fully, therapy can offer a place to pause, reflect, and feel supported. 

I can offer you a place where you can explore, grow, and begin to flourish into your authentic self. It is a collaborative process where your autonomy is respected. My role is to walk alongside you with empathy and honesty as you explore what matters most to you. Together, we can gently make sense of what may be influencing you, both in the present and from the past, creating space for greater awareness, personal growth, and meaningful change.

At the heart of it, I can offer you a space where you can bring every part of yourself — the parts you are proud of, and the parts you may struggle to accept — knowing that all the while, you will be met with warmth, compassion, and genuine acceptance. 

In my practice I draw from a combination of strategies, including person-centred and psychodynamic theories to create a personalised approach for each person I see. I offer a compassionate, non‑judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported whilst going at your own pace. I believe counselling can be empowering, and I work relationally with my clients. I am interested in the human condition — what shapes us and influences how we think, feel, and behave.

I don't tell clients what to do or push them to discuss unwanted topics. I encourage openness and honesty on both sides, offering insight and a trusted space to talk and be heard. I believe that being as open and honest as possible helps you get the most out of counselling. Talking about things that you've never shared before might seem overwhelming, but you're not facing it alone, I am by your side.

I offer an initial consultation, which is a free fifteen minute phone call to discuss whether we may be compatible. If you decide to go ahead we will book an initial assessment to discuss your needs and wishes and personal details in more depth. This will last fifty minutes and is usually online or over the phone, where we can collaboratively determine the best approach for you. If you wish to work with me, we can set an initial number of sessions and review regularly as we go forward. Sessions are usually held at the same time each week. Should that not suit your needs, we can explore alternative counselling methods or available support options.
