About Me

I am an integrative therapist and a registered member of the BACP. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. When that happens, counselling can provide a safe space to pause, reflect, and begin to make sense of things. Whatever you are facing, we can work together to explore your feelings, understand your situation, and find ways to feel more in control.

My Approach

As an integrative counsellor, I draw from different types of therapy to create a personalised approach for each client. This means I can adapt our sessions based on what works best for you. Together, we will build self-awareness, which often leads to greater self-acceptance and, where needed, meaningful change.

In addition, I have a strong interest in the connection between the body and mind. I often use body-based techniques to support clients who feel stuck in cycles of stress or anxiety. Depending on your comfort level, I may suggest using mindfulness, breath work, or elements of 3rd Wave CBT. For some clients, creative therapy techniques also offer a helpful way to express what’s difficult to put into words.

What I Can Help With

Over the years, I’ve supported clients with a range of emotional and mental health issues, both short-term and long-term. These include:

  • Abuse

  • Addictions

  • Anger

  • Anxiety

  • Bereavement

  • Carer or parent stress

  • Childhood trauma

  • Depression

  • Feelings of shame

  • Health-related challenges or disability

  • Identity issues

  • Men’s issues

  • Neurodivergence

  • Relationship problems

  • Self-esteem

  • Sexual abuse

  • Stress

  • Trauma

  • Women’s issues (including menopause)

  • Work-related stress

How I Work

I currently offer online counselling sessions for both short- and long-term support. I work with adults and young people aged 16 and over.

Each session is shaped around your needs and goals. Whether you’re looking for a space to talk, wanting to process the past, or seeking better tools for coping, I will support you in a way that feels right for you.
