I offer a space where you can bring the parts of yourself that feel anxious, stuck, or weighed down. My work is about listening without judgement, helping you make sense of what feels overwhelming, and creating room for new ways of moving forward. You do not need to have it all figured out: I will meet you exactly where you are.
My path into counselling began through my work in schools, supporting neurodivergent young people and those struggling with their mental health. I spent years alongside children and families who often felt misunderstood, helping them find ways to cope and to feel seen. Over time, I realised it was not only the practical support that mattered, but the moments of being truly listened to and accepted. That is what drew me into therapy work: the chance to create a space where people of all ages could bring their whole selves without fear of judgment.
As a qualified integrative counsellor, I bring together psychodynamic and person-centred approaches. That means we might explore your past and how it shapes you today, while also focusing on what it feels like to sit here in the present. My way of working is not about labels or fixing you, but about walking alongside you with warmth, honesty and curiosity.
I know what it is like to feel stuck, to lose sight of yourself, or to feel weighed down by anxiety, self-doubt or relationship struggles. Therapy offers a place to lay that down, to be heard, and to begin making sense of your experiences. I will listen closely, sit with you when things feel intense, and help you notice what has been getting in your way. Together we can start to create new ways of moving forward: at your pace, in your own way.
I offer therapy that is flexible, compassionate, and grounded in real human experience. Every person is different, so there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we explore what’s going on for you, how it shows up in your life, and what changes you'd like to see. My focus is on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be yourself, speak honestly, and start to understand patterns that may have been holding you back.
At the heart of my work is the counselling relationship. Healing often comes from being truly seen and heard. You don’t need to have all the answers or even know exactly what you want from therapy. I am here to listen closely, reflect what I hear, and support you in working through feelings and experiences that have felt heavy or confusing.
I’m trained in person-centred and psychodynamic therapy. That means I see you as the expert in your own life and help you understand how past experiences, relationships, and recurring patterns influence how you feel and relate today. Struggles are not signs that you’re broken, they are understandable responses to life, and together we can explore ways to move forward with clarity and self-compassion.
I also draw on relational and attachment-based approaches. This can be helpful if you notice patterns in your relationships, such as feeling overly responsible for others, fearing rejection, or repeating dynamics that no longer serve you. We explore where these patterns come from, how they show up now, and how you can start to respond differently in ways that feel safe and empowering.
I often work with neurodivergent clients. If you feel misunderstood, overstimulated, or like you are constantly masking to fit in, I offer a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Silence, tangents, stims, or info-dumps are all welcome. I also support challenges that can come alongside neurodivergence, such as anxiety, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or relational stress, always with a strengths-based and affirming approach.
Ultimately, my goal is to help you feel more in tune with yourself: aware of your needs, compassionate towards your inner world, and empowered to make choices that feel right for you. Whether you come with a specific issue or just a general sense that something needs to shift, I will meet you where you are and help you explore the steps forward, at your pace and in your own way.
