Aligned to Category C of SCoPEd framework

A space for insight, healing, and growth

Im a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the UK Council for Psychotherapy. I’m also aligned with Category C of the SCoPEd framework, which reflects advanced training, experience and professional responsibility.

I’ve been working as a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor for over 35 years. Alongside my professional experience, I bring my own understanding of what it means to navigate difficult times and work through change. I know that choosing to talk to someone can feel like a big step, and I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted for who you are.



Working Together

There are times when life can feel difficult, uncertain, or just not quite how it used to. You might be dealing with anxiety, loss, relationship difficulties, change, or a feeling that you have lost your sense of direction. Sometimes you know exactly what is troubling you. Other times, you just have a feeling that something needs to change.

The people and experiences in our lives become part of the story of who we are. In some ways, we are a bit like a tree, shaped by our roots, the environment around us, and everything we have experienced along the way. Some relationships become deeply rooted and are an important part of our lives, while others sit further out, offering friendship, connection, support and a sense of belonging.

Our relationships can change as we do. Some people grow alongside us, some become more distant, and some experiences can stay with us long after they have happened. The relationships we have, particularly those closest to us, can shape how we see ourselves, what we expect from others and how comfortable we feel being truly ourselves.

Sometimes, the ways we have learned to protect ourselves can stick around even when we no longer need them. We might find ourselves repeating the same patterns, overthinking relationships, feeling anxious or disconnected, struggling with loss or change, or simply feeling like something isn't quite right.

In our work together, we will explore what is going on for you and what you would like to be different. We might start with something specific, such as anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, low mood, a major life change, or simply feeling stuck or unsure about where you are heading.

I believe that real change starts with feeling seen, heard and accepted for who you are. When we feel safe enough to look at the things that are painful, difficult or hard to make sense of, we can start to understand ourselves differently. Therapy can help you make sense of what you have been through, understand the patterns you have developed and reconnect with who you are underneath them.

We will explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, while also paying attention to the connection between your mind and body. Not everything we experience is easy to put into words. Sometimes things can stay with us in other ways, even when we don't fully understand why. Making space for these experiences can help you understand what you have been carrying and what you might need to move forward.

Feeling rooted in yourself can make it easier to navigate everything else. Together, we can work towards greater self awareness, self acceptance and trust in yourself, while creating space for you to grow and move in a direction that feels right for you.

Alongside my professional experience and expertise, I bring a deep understanding of what it means to heal and find your way through difficult times. I have walked my own path too, and I understand that facing difficult things takes courage. Sometimes, having someone beside you who really listens, understands without judgement and stays with you through the process can make a real difference.

You don't need to have everything figured out before you reach out. If something in your life feels difficult, uncertain or just doesn't feel right, you are welcome to get in touch. We can talk about what is going on for you, what you would like support with, and whether working together feels like the right fit.

All sessions are held online.
