MBACP Dip. Counsellor
About Me
Looking for counselling can feel like a big step, and you might be wondering what to expect. My aim is to provide a calm, supportive space where you can talk openly, without fear of judgement. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, ADHD, loss, or just feeling stuck, you’re not alone.
Counselling offers a space to explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. Some people come with a clear focus, while others just need time to make sense of things—there’s no right or wrong way to do this. However you work best, we’ll find an approach that feels right for you.
How I Work
I work in a trauma-informed way, always taking care to create a safe and supportive environment. Some people find it helpful to have structure and practical strategies, while others need space to process their experiences without pressure or expectation. My role is to listen, support, and help you make sense of what’s going on—at a pace that works for you.

If you’d like to explore whether we’d be a good fit, please feel free to get in touch.
Experience
I have worked with adults and teenagers in private practice, schools, and charities, supporting people through a wide range of challenges. Alongside my counselling qualifications, I continue to develop my skills through ongoing professional training, ensuring that I can provide the best possible support to my clients.
Counselling isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about having space to figure things out. If you’re feeling unsure, that’s completely normal. I’d be happy to have a chat and answer any questions you might have.
