MY APPROACH
A Gentle Space for Care, Curiosity, and Connection
As a Humanistic counsellor, I believe that when we feel genuinely heard and accepted, something begins to shift. Reaching out for support is a courageous step, and I am here to walk alongside you with care and empathy, helping you make sense of your experiences at a pace that feels right for you. I offer a warm, confidential space where you can slow down and speak openly. It is a space designed for you to simply be yourself—without judgement, pressure, or expectation. Often, as self-awareness and self-acceptance grow, clarity and change will follow naturally.
Support for Individual & Couples Growth
Individual Counselling
Individual counselling is your space. A space to speak freely and to untangle thoughts, a space to sit with feelings which may have been pushed aside and to explore the parts of yourself which may feel confused, lost or unheard.
You may be living with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties or a quiet sense of dissatisfaction that is hard to explain. Wherever you are, we begin there - gently and at your pace.
I offer a steady, genuine presence where you can feel safe enough to be honest. Rather than advice and quick solutions, I will support you in understanding yourself more deeply.
I hold a deep belief that each person has the capacity for growth, sometimes we just need the right conditions to do so - empathy, patience and understanding - to reconnect with that part of ourselves.
Couples
Counselling
Relationships can bring comfort, love and connection - but - they can also, at times, feel painful, distant or stuck.
If communication has become difficult, if the same arguments keep resurfacing, or if you feel disconnected from one another, couples counselling can offer a space to pause and really listen, both to yourself and each other.
My role is not to take sides or decide who is right or wrong. Instead, I work to create a calm and balanced space where you can both feel heard and respected. Together we can explore what may be happening beneath the surface - the feelings, fears and unmet needs that sometimes get lost in conflict.
When couples feel safer to speak openly and listen differently, new understanding can begin to emerge. From there, connection can slowly be rebuilt in ways that feel more supportive and meaningful to you both.
Seeking Clarity & Common Questions
Is therapy right for me?
The first session
Your privacy
You do not have to be in crisis to seek support. Many people come because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or wish to understand themselves better. If something doesn't feel right, that in itself can be enough reason to reach out.
The first session is a gentle starting point; I offer an initial chat (30 mins, free of charge). We can discuss what has brought you to counselling and what you are hoping for. It is an opportunity to get a sense of how it feels to talk with me.
What you share is treated with care and confidentiality. I follow professional standards and will explain the legal and ethical limits to confidentiality in our very first session so you feel fully informed and safe.
Length of journey
Fees & availability
Training & standards
This varies from person to person. Some may come for a short period to focus on specific issues, while others choose longer-term work. We can review things as we go, to ensure the pace and length feel right for you.
I charge £50 for individuals and £80 for couples. I work during the day, evenings and Saturday mornings. Please feel invited to get in touch to check for specific openings that accommodate your schedule.
I hold a Diploma and a BA Hons Degree in Humanistic Counselling, with additional training for children, young people and couples. I am a registered member of the BACP, adhering to their ethical framework.
