I’m a person-centred counsellor, and my intention is to offer a space where you can be yourself without feeling that you have to edit or hide what you’re feeling.

Anger, hurt, frustration, confusion, sadness, or even the things that are difficult to put into words can all be brought into the room. You don’t have to make sense of everything before you bring it to counselling, and you don’t have to have the “right” words.

Sometimes what isn’t said can be just as important as what is. There can be space for that too.

For me, the therapeutic relationship is an important part of counselling. It doesn’t simply develop because two people are sitting in the same room. It takes time to build trust, get to know one another and develop a relationship where you can feel able to bring what is really going on for you.

I won’t tell you what you should do or try to fit your experience into a particular way of thinking. Instead, I’ll work alongside you, listening to what you want to bring and helping you explore it at your own pace. You might arrive knowing exactly what you want to talk about, or you might not know where to begin. Both are okay.

My experience with Road Victims Trust has also deepened my understanding of how differently people can respond to trauma, grief and sudden loss, and that there isn’t one “right” way to feel or process what has happened.

I’m particularly interested in supporting people experiencing grief and loss, life changes and transitions, and changes or difficulties within family and relationships.

I also believe counselling doesn’t always have to be about finding the perfect words. If it feels helpful, we can explore different ways of expressing or understanding what you’re experiencing, using pens and paper, writing, or other creative approaches. There’s no expectation to use these — they’re simply another option if they feel right for you.

I offer person-centred counselling online, giving you the flexibility to have your sessions somewhere you feel comfortable, private and able to be yourself.

Online counselling doesn’t mean you have to sit at a desk or be perfectly still for the whole session. If you feel more comfortable sitting on the sofa, having a drink, using a fidget toy, doodling or moving around a little, that’s okay. What matters to me is that you feel comfortable enough to be yourself and engage in the session in a way that works for you.

I offer open-ended sessions, so there isn’t a fixed number of sessions you need to commit to from the beginning. We can take things at a pace that feels right for you and check in along the way about whether counselling continues to feel helpful.

If you would prefer to have a more defined ending in mind, we can also agree on a number of sessions to work towards. This can give you a sense of structure and allow us to review where you are as we approach the end.

I’m not there to give you a list of answers or tell you what you should do. I’m there to listen, understand and work alongside you as you explore what’s going on for you, helping you make sense of things in your own way.

And yes, humour is allowed. Laughter can be part of therapy too.

Humour can be an important part of who we are and how we relate to others. Sometimes it might be a way of protecting ourselves or moving away from something that feels difficult, and if it feels useful, we can gently explore that together when the time feels right for you.

But it doesn’t always need to be analysed. Sometimes something is simply funny, and that’s okay too. You’re still allowed to laugh

I offer a free 20-minute online consultation before you decide whether to book.

I have limited availability for concession priced sessions .
