About Me

I believe there is something deeply powerful about being seen and witnessed — not as we think we should be, but as we actually are. Life can leave us feeling lonely, forgotten or invisible. Sometimes there are things we carry that haven’t had anywhere to go, or feelings that have felt too difficult to say out loud.

I believe counselling can offer a place for those things to be acknowledged. A space where you can bring your pain, uncertainty, anger, sadness, confusion — whatever is there — and be met with compassion rather than judgement.

How I work and my approach -
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different types of counselling, depending on what feels most helpful for you. I use a blend of approaches, including:
• Psychodynamic, which explores our past and how it can influence us today.
• Humanistic, which provides a supportive space for personal growth and present challenges.
• Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
• Creative approaches, particularly when feelings are difficult to put into words.

How I might be able to help -
I see counselling as a collaborative process. Rather than telling you what to do, I'll work alongside you, helping you make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Together, we can explore the stories you hold about yourself, the beliefs you've picked up along the way, and the patterns that may no longer be serving you, at a pace that feels right for you.

Alongside empathy and a non-judgmental space, I also believe there is room for humour, creativity and gentle challenge. Counselling doesn't always have to feel heavy. Sometimes moments of lightness can help us see things differently and open up new possibilities for change.

Getting in touch -
Whether you're coming to counselling feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, uncertain, or simply curious, you're welcome here.

I offer a free 15-minute introductory phone call. If you’d like to have a conversation about starting counselling, I’d be glad to hear from you.
