The type of therapeutic counselling I offer is called person-centred counselling. In this type of talking therapy, our sessions will be focused on what’s going on for you in your life, and how it feels to be you.

As your counsellor, I’ll listen to you, without judgement, striving to understand your unique experience of life. We’ll work together to develop a clearer picture of your world. By feeling truly heard, you may gain a deeper understanding of what you’re going through and begin to relate to your experiences in new ways.

As a result, you may identify things that you want to change in your life and things that you want to accept. You may begin to see ways forward that you couldn’t see before, discovering new inner resources and resilience. In our sessions, you can be assured that there’s no wrong answer – there’s only what feels right for you.

I’ve supported clients facing a range of issues including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, relationship issues, stress and low self-esteem.

I also feel I have a strong awareness of certain challenges that adults and young adults are facing, including social media, anxiety around the climate and ecological crisis, and education and workplace pressures.

When we go to family, friends, and peers, we can worry about what they think of us or feel inclined to take advice we’re not sure about. By reconnecting with what’s authentically ‘you’ in a safe, therapeutic space, I believe you can begin to take your own advice and take steps towards feeling realigned with who you are.

I qualified as a professional therapeutic counsellor in 2021. As a young adult, I experienced my own mental health issues and sought help through talking therapy, which allowed me to move through these struggles. It was these personal experiences that then inspired me to train in therapeutic counselling.

I follow the BACP Ethical Framework in my practice and meet their requirements for continuing professional development (CPD). I have regular clinical supervision to help me support my clients in the best way I possibly can.

The person-centred approach to counselling focuses on each client’s individual experiences of life. This approach allows me to work with clients facing a wide range of issues in a safe, supportive, and effective way.

During my professional training, I worked at two community counselling agencies, offering online video, phone, and face-to-face sessions with adult and young adult clients. I also volunteered at the Samaritans helpline for three years, providing emotional listening support to people in distress by telephone, email, text, and face-to-face.
