About me

Counselling isn’t just for crisis; it's for anyone wanting to level up, reflect deeply, and live more intentionally. Whether you're navigating anxiety, self-doubt, relationship struggles, life transitions, low mood, burnout, or questions around identity, together we’ll explore your inner world with honesty and care, working deeply to uncover meaning, insight, and lasting change. If you're looking for a warm, relational space to feel truly seen and supported, I invite you to get in touch. I offer a free initial consultation to explore what’s bringing you to counselling and see if we’re a good fit. A note on Finance: Please feel free to reach out if cost is a barrier: I offer some discounted-fee spaces for students, trainee counsellors, and those on lower incomes.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
EFT: Emotionally focused therapyRecommended for couples or individuals who want to strengthen emotional connections in relationships by exploring feelings and attachment.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
I draw from well-established, evidence-based approaches. I work in a person-centered and trauma-informed way. I also draw on emotion-focused and attachment-based practices to help you connect deeply with yourself and understand how your attachment patterns shape your relationships and sense of safety. I offer a space where you can move at your own pace, feel deeply heard, and begin to make sense of what's going on inside. Whether you're looking to understand your emotions more clearly, untangle old patterns, or connect more deeply with others, our work will be shaped by your needs.

Experience

I have extensive experience supporting people navigate self-worth challenges, relational wounds, people-pleasing, overthinking, shame, emotional disconnection, grief, loss, trauma, abuse, relationship concerns, and identity and sexuality exploration. My practice is neurodiversity-affirming and culturally sensitive.
