About Counselling

Counselling offers a confidential, non-judgemental space to explore the issues that may be troubling you and to work through difficult emotions and experiences. It can help you re-imagine your life and future in more fulfilling ways.

When life feels hard, it is natural to withdraw through shame or fear, or to develop coping behaviours that bring short-term relief but may become unhelpful over time. Within an empathic counselling relationship, there is space to understand these patterns and begin to see yourself in healthier, more creative ways, where change is possible.

I work as an integrative counsellor, drawing on a range of approaches to understand each person as a whole. I believe our past experiences shape our present, alongside our current relationships and circumstances. Through counselling, insight can grow and new, more fulfilling ways of living can emerge.

Counselling helps people take charge of their lives

I help people take charge of their lives by honestly exploring patterns, behaviours, and relationships that cause pain or feel controlling. I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, addiction, shame, trauma, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, body image, eating disorders, self-harm, anger, stress, panic attacks, phobias, and the impact of addiction on loved ones.

Within a supportive counselling relationship, you are encouraged to build on your existing strengths while learning to let go of—or live more helpfully with—areas you struggle with. This may involve developing practical skills, or exploring present and past experiences that continue to affect you.
