I offer a caring environment free from judgment for you to explore your feelings.
Relationships & relationship difficulties
Helping you understand your relationships, break unhelpful patterns and build more secure and fulfilling connections.
Relationships can be a source of love, connection and belonging, but they can also leave us feeling hurt, frustrated, anxious or disconnected. Perhaps you’re experiencing conflict, difficulties with trust, infidelity, emotional distance, jealousy or the impact of addiction, financial pressures or other challenges.
Counselling can offer a space to explore what is happening — including how you communicate, respond to conflict and relate to yourself and others. Together, we can make sense of patterns that may be keeping you stuck, understand your needs and boundaries, and develop healthier ways of communicating and relating.
Whether you’re struggling within a current relationship or finding that similar patterns keep appearing in your relationships, I can help you gain greater self-awareness and work towards more honest, secure and fulfilling connections.
Self-awareness and life transitions
When life changes, it can be hard to know where you fit, what you need or who you are becoming.
Life transitions can leave us feeling lost, unsettled or disconnected from ourselves. Perhaps you’re navigating divorce, separation, loss, a significant career change, menopause, becoming a parent, leaving home, or simply finding that life no longer feels quite as you expected.
Counselling can offer a space to pause, reflect and make sense of what is happening, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your needs and the choices available to you. Together, we can explore what matters to you now, reconnect with your sense of self and find a way forward that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
Depression and anxiety
A safe, supportive space to make sense of how you’re feeling and find a way forward.
When life feels overwhelming, anxiety and depression can leave you feeling isolated, exhausted or as though you’ve lost your sense of control. You may be struggling with fear, loneliness, guilt, low self-worth or simply finding it difficult to cope with everyday life.
Counselling offers you a space to slow things down and talk openly about what you’re experiencing, without judgement or the pressure to have everything worked out. You can come exactly as you are and say what needs to be said.
Together, we can explore what is happening beneath the surface, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and find ways to help you feel more grounded, connected and able to cope.
Bereavement & loss
When grief feels overwhelming, counselling can offer a safe space to make sense of what you’re experiencing and find a way forward.
I have extensive experience supporting people through bereavement, including working with a national bereavement charity and supporting people and their families through cancer diagnosis and treatment. I have worked alongside many people experiencing profound loss, helping them navigate the often unpredictable twists and turns of grief.
Whether your loss is recent or something you have been carrying for many years, there is no right or wrong way to grieve. I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about your loss, make sense of painful emotions and begin to find your way through this difficult time.
Young adults & University Students
Finding your way can be challenging — I offer a safe, supportive space to explore who you are, build confidence, and navigate life’s ups and downs
Finding your way as a young adult can feel exciting, confusing, and sometimes overwhelming. Whether you’re starting university, navigating life away from home, or trying to work out who you are and where you fit in, I offer a warm, supportive space where you can be yourself without judgement.
You may be struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationships, friendships, family difficulties or the pressures of university, college or work. Perhaps you’re questioning your identity, finding it difficult to feel comfortable in your own skin, or struggling with issues such as self-harm, disordered eating or feeling that life has become overwhelming.
Counselling can give you space to slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing and develop a stronger understanding of yourself. Together, we can explore what’s going on beneath the surface, build confidence and help you find your own voice and direction.
Self esteem and confidence
Helping you develop a kinder, more accepting and confident relationship with yourself.
If you’re your own harshest critic, constantly comparing yourself to others, putting pressure on yourself to be perfect or feeling that you’re simply not good enough, counselling can help you understand where these beliefs come from and how they affect the way you see yourself.
Early relationships, and previous experiences can influence the way we see ourselves, and the way we relate to others.
Together, we can explore the patterns and expectations that keep you feeling inadequate, develop greater self-compassion and help you recognise your strengths, needs and worth — so you can feel more comfortable being yourself and less driven by the need to prove your value.
