About Counselling

Counselling offers a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can explore the issues that may be troubling you and make sense of difficult emotions and experiences. It provides an opportunity to feel heard and understood, and for many people, to begin re-imagining their life and future in more fulfilling ways.

When life feels overwhelming, it is natural to withdraw through fear or shame, or to develop coping behaviours that offer short-term relief but become unhelpful over time. Within an empathic counselling relationship, there is space to gently explore these patterns. This can help you develop a more compassionate understanding of yourself and open up healthier, more creative ways of living, where change feels possible.

You do not need to know exactly what you want to talk about in counselling. We can begin wherever you are, at a pace that feels right for you.

I work as an integrative counsellor, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and adapt my work to each individual. I believe that our past experiences shape who we are, alongside our current relationships and circumstances. Through counselling, insight can deepen, old patterns can be explored with care, and new perspectives and choices can begin to emerge.

At its heart, counselling is about helping you take greater ownership of your life. I support people in honestly exploring patterns, behaviours, and relationships that cause pain or feel restrictive or controlling. I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, addiction, shame, trauma, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, body image concerns, eating disorders, self-harm, anger, stress, panic attacks, phobias, and the impact of addiction on loved ones.

Counselling is a collaborative process that builds on your existing strengths. It may involve developing practical ways of coping in the present, as well as exploring past and current experiences that continue to influence how you feel and relate to yourself and others. The work moves at your pace, within a supportive and respectful relationship, allowing understanding and change to develop over time.
