I’m a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with a strong foundation in therapeutic theory and practice, supported by ongoing professional development. My work is shaped by years of experience in public-facing roles and voluntary work at a bereavement support centre, where I provided support to people experiencing profound grief and loss.
I have also previously trained in holistic therapies, driven by a long-standing fascination with the connection between the body and mind. Though I had to step back from that path due to health reasons, the insight I gained continues to inform how I view people in a holistic and compassionate way, a perspective that still informs my work today.
I aim to create a warm, safe, and compassionate space where clients feel truly heard and understood.
I offer all sessions remotely, either via video call or by telephone. If you’d like to learn more about what to expect from remote therapy and its benefits, please visit my Remote Services page here:
My path into this work is rooted in personal experience. Having faced challenges with both mental and physical health, I understand how deeply these struggles can affect every part of life – emotionally, physically, and relationally.
Living with ongoing ‘invisible’ health issues has given me insight into the often unseen impact they carry, and I know how it feels to be overwhelmed or lost within it all.
I’ve also seen how mental health difficulties can affect the people we love, and how hard it can be to witness someone else’s pain and feel powerless to help. These experiences have shaped my understanding, deepened my empathy, and continue to fuel my commitment to this work.
My motivation is simple but strong: to be a consistent, steady presence for others. I want to offer a space where you feel safe, supported, heard and understood, and that is what I aim to provide.
While I welcome whatever you may bring to therapy, I have particular experience in supporting people with:

My approach is rooted in respect, empathy, and the belief that therapy should be a safe, supportive, and empowering experience. I work integratively, drawing on a range of therapeutic models to meet you as a whole person. This means I tailor our work to suit your unique needs, honouring the fact that everyone’s journey is different. I also recognise that factors such as chronic illness, disability, caring responsibilities, and life’s unexpected challenges can shape how people access and engage with therapy. Wherever possible, I seek to work with these realities compassionately and flexibly. My aim is to offer a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted, just as you are.
I view our work as a collaborative partnership, where we explore your experiences together with curiosity and care. Your insight, strengths, and goals shape the direction and pace we take – because meaningful change happens through shared exploration.
Starting therapy can bring up uncertainty about what it will actually be like. To help you feel more at ease, here’s a simple outline of what you can expect from me, and just as importantly, what you don’t have to worry about.
