I work primarily from a person-centred approach, offering a warm, respectful and non-judgemental space where you can explore what is happening in your life at your own pace. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to effective counselling, and I aim to create a space where you feel heard, understood and able to be yourself.

I work collaboratively with you rather than seeing myself as the expert on your life. Together, we can explore your experiences, emotions, relationships, patterns and the challenges you are facing, while developing greater awareness of what you need and what may help you move forward.

My work is informed by psychodynamic, trauma, somatic, and neurodiversity training and experience. This allows us to consider not only what is happening in the present, but also whether past experiences, relationships, or learned patterns may be influencing how you feel and respond today. I am interested in the connections between our experiences, emotions, bodies, and ways of relating, while always keeping the work grounded in your individual experience.

Warmth and genuine, respectful curiosity are at the heart of my practice. My aim is not to tell you who you should be, but to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and feel more able to make choices that are right for you.

At Path to Balance, I offer confidential counselling for adults and young people aged 13+, both face-to-face and online.

People come to counselling for many different reasons. You may be experiencing anxiety or stress, relationship difficulties, a significant life transition, questions around identity, reduced confidence or emotional overwhelm. You may also simply feel that something in your life needs to change, without being entirely sure where to begin.

I have experience working with neurodivergent clients, as well as people in polyamorous and same-gender relationships. I aim to provide an inclusive space where you do not have to fit yourself into assumptions about how relationships, identity, or wellbeing “should” look.

You do not need to arrive with everything worked out or know exactly what you want from counselling. We can start with what feels most important to you and develop our work together.

Sessions provide space to slow down, talk openly and make sense of your experiences. Depending on your needs, this may involve exploring emotions, relationships and patterns, developing greater self-awareness, or considering what might help you move forward.

I offer a warm, respectful, and collaborative therapeutic relationship, while maintaining professional boundaries and working at a pace that feels appropriate for you.

First sessions are for getting to know each other better and setting our compass for the journey. Although assessment and ways of working discussions are a big part of it, at its heart, it is still about connecting as a human to a human.
