About Me

I am a qualified counsellor with over 5 years experience supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported. My practice draws on an integrative approach, using Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused methods and others, tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.

My Counselling Philosophy

I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and self-discovery. My role as a counsellor is to provide a compassionate, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. I value honesty, empathy, and respect, and I am committed to working collaboratively with you to foster understanding, resilience, and positive change.

Tailoring support to meet your unique needs and goals.

My Integrative Approach

I draw on several proven methods to create a personalised therapy experience that moves you toward clarity and confidence.
