About Counselling

A place to breathe.

My work is grounded in a relational and person-centred approach.
I believe that meaningful change happens through understanding, presence, and a sense of safety — not through pressure, quick solutions, or being told what to do.
I work collaboratively, paying close attention to your experiences, history, relationships, and the wider context of your life.
Together, we explore patterns, needs, boundaries, and choices — gently and honestly, at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
Therapy with me is not about fixing you or removing parts of yourself.
It is about integrating them.
It is about developing awareness, strengthening your relationship with yourself, and learning to respond to life in ways that support your wellbeing.
I draw on different therapeutic approaches as tools, guided by your needs rather than a fixed model.
At the centre of my work is you — with respect for your autonomy, responsibility, and capacity for growth.

 

I work with people who feel overwhelmed, tired, or disconnected from themselves.
Many of the people I support live with anxiety, low mood, or a persistent sense of not being “enough.”
Others come feeling lost, unhappy, frustrated, or unsure of what they need — even though, on the outside, they may appear to be coping.

I often work with people who have experienced neglect, trauma, or abuse — in childhood or adulthood — including controlling or emotionally abusive relationships.
For many, these experiences have shaped long-standing patterns of putting others first, struggling with boundaries, or losing touch with their own needs.
I also work with neurodivergent adults, including people with ADHD, autism, PDA, dyslexia or dyspraxia — many of whom have spent years adapting, masking, or misunderstanding themselves.

If you are here, it may be because something in you is asking for change — for understanding, safety, or a different way of relating to yourself and to others.
