Thoughtful, person-centred counselling grounded in understanding and collaboration
People often reach a point where familiar ways of coping no longer feel sustainable. You may appear to manage well outwardly while feeling overwhelmed underneath, or notice recurring patterns in anxiety, relationships, or self-pressure that are difficult to change alone.
Counselling provides a space to slow down and reflect on your experiences with the support of a trained professional. Rather than focusing on quick solutions, our work together centres on developing understanding — allowing insight and change to emerge in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable.
How I work
My approach is grounded in person-centred and humanistic therapy. This means working collaboratively and respectfully, allowing therapy to develop around your experience rather than following a rigid agenda or diagnostic framework.
Sessions move at a pace that feels manageable, with space to explore thoughts and feelings openly without pressure to perform or have everything clearly defined. Many people find that as understanding develops, new perspectives and possibilities begin to emerge naturally.
I aim to provide a thoughtful, non-judgemental environment where you can explore difficult or complex aspects of your life safely and at your own pace.
What clients often bring
People come to counselling for many different reasons. Common starting points include:
anxiety or stress
relationship challenges
identity questions or life transitions
burnout or feeling overwhelmed
self-esteem or self-pressure
experiences connected to autism, ADHD, neurodivergence, or high sensitivity.
You do not need to arrive with a clear diagnosis or defined problem — therapy begins wherever you are.
Training and experience
I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy from Keele University and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
My clinical experience includes counselling NHS staff and supporting cancer patients and their families as a Macmillan counsellor, alongside work within charitable counselling services. I now dedicate all of my working time to private practice.

You can choose a regular weekly or fortnightly appointment, or arrange sessions individually if you prefer a more flexible approach.
Getting started
If you are considering counselling, an initial conversation offers an opportunity to ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right. There is no obligation — simply a chance to explore the next step.
