I currently have availability for new clients and offer sessions during weekdays, with some evening appointments available to accommodate different schedules.

I aim to respond to all enquiries within 48 hours and will discuss suitable appointment times during our initial contact.

If I am planning any periods of leave or time away from practice, I will provide clients with as much notice as possible to support continuity and planning.

Please feel free to get in touch to discuss current availability and whether counselling with me feels like the right fit for your needs.

I understand that reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, and my aim is to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you feel safe to be yourself and share whatever is on your mind.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to your individual needs, experiences, and goals. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to counselling, so together we will find a way of working that feels right for you.

I also recognise that our cultural backgrounds, identities, beliefs, values, and life experiences shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. Cultural inclusivity is at the heart of my practice, and I strive to offer a respectful and welcoming space where all aspects of your identity are acknowledged, valued, and understood.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, loss, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I will work alongside you with empathy, curiosity, and genuine care. Together, we can explore what is happening for you, build on your strengths, and support you in moving towards greater understanding, resilience, and wellbeing.

My hope is that you leave each session feeling heard, supported, and empowered to make the changes that matter most to you.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that you don't have to face life's challenges alone. My aim is to provide a warm, welcoming, and non-judgemental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about whatever is on your mind.

I believe that every person has their own unique story, strengths, and experiences. By building a trusting and supportive relationship, we can work together to explore your thoughts and feelings, gain a deeper understanding of your experiences, and identify ways to move forward that feel right for you.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, loss, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I will listen with empathy, compassion, and respect. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your individual needs, helping you feel heard, valued, and empowered throughout your counselling journey.

My goal is to create a safe space where meaningful change, healing, and personal growth can happen at your own pace.

Welcome to Your First Session

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, and I aim to provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood. During our first session, we will explore what has brought you to counselling, discuss your goals, and complete a brief assessment to help me understand how best to support you.

There is no obligation to continue after the first session. It is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to decide whether my approach feels right for you.

Cancellation Policy: If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice may be charged at the full session fee, except in exceptional circumstances. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
