Humanistic Counselling and supervision
Reaching out is a big step. Welcome to a space without judgment.
Whatever has brought you here, you are welcome. Whether you are seeking counselling, supervision or simply want to ask a question, I am pleased to meet you with warmth, curiosity and without judgement.
my philosophy
A Gentle Space for Care, Curiosity, and Connection
I believe that meaningful change rarely comes from being given the answers. More often, it begins when we have the time and space to slow down, feel heard and be curious about ourselves.
Whether you're coming for counselling or supervision, my approach is grounded in the belief that every person has the capacity for growth. Together, we create a warm, reflective space, where thoughts don't need to be organised before they're spoken, and feelings don't need to make sense straight away.
Rather than trying to change or fix who you are, we'll gently explore your experiences, relationships, and the patterns that have shaped you. As understanding grows, clarity often follows, along with greater self-compassion and the confidence to move forward in a way that feel authentic to you.
Support for Individual & Couples Growth
Individual Counselling
Life can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or unsure of where to turn. At other times, we simply have the sense that something isn't quite right, even if we can't put it into words.
Individual counselling offers a place to slow down. A place where thoughts don't need to be organised before they are spoken, and feelings don't need to make sense straight away. Together, we begin wherever you find yourself today, gently, and at your pace.
Sometimes we know exactly what has brought us to counselling. Sometimes we don't. Whether you're living with anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, trauma, or simply feeling a little lost from yourself, we begin there. With curiosity, compassion and without judgement.
As a Humanistic counsellor, I believe you are the expert on your own life. Rather than offering advice or quick solutions, my role is to walk alongside you as you begin to understand yourself more deeply. Together we can explore your experiences, your relationships and the patterns that may no longer be serving you, helping you discover your own way forward.
I've always believed that people carry within them the capacity for growth. Often it isn't about becoming someone new, but about creating the right conditions to reconnect with the person you already are.
Couples
Counselling
Relationships can be one of the places we feel most understood, and sometimes the places we feel most alone. Even strong relationships can lose their way when life becomes busy, painful or overwhelming.
Couples counselling offers a space to slow down together. A place where both of you can feel heard, understood and supported as we begin to explore what has been happening between you.
You may be experiencing conflict, communication difficulties, a loss of connection, challenges around intimacy, trust or major life changes. Whatever has brought you here, we begin with curiosity rather than judgement, creating a space to understand both yourselves, and each other a little more deeply.
My role is not to decide who is right or wrong, or to take sides. Instead, I offer a supportive, balanced space where the conversation beneath the arguments has room to emerge. Often, when we feel heard, something begins to soften, allowing a new understanding and different ways of relating to grow.
Sometimes change begins with something very small, a different conversation, a moment of feeling understood, or a new way of seeing yourself or each other. From those moments, relationships can begin to move again.
Counselling Supervision
The work of counselling asks a great deal of us. We hold stories, uncertainty, hope and heartbreak, often all within the same day. Supervision offers somewhere to bring all of that, a space to pause, reflect and make sense of the work together.
I offer supervision for qualified counsellors and trainees, online and in person, within a Humanistic framework.
For me, supervision is much more than oversight. It is a collaborative relationship built on trust, curiosity and honest reflection. A place where we can think together about your client work, your therapeutic relationships, and your experience of being alongside others.
I believe that curiosity sits at the heart of good supervision. Together we can notice what is happening in the room, explore the emotional impact of the work, celebrate what is going well, and gently stay with the moments that feel uncertain or challenging.
My role is not to have all the answers. It is to offer another perspective, ask thoughtful questions, and create a space where you feel able to think openly, honsestly, and without fear of judgement.
Whether you are newly qualified, continuing your training, or have many years of experience, I hope supervision becomes somewhere you leave feeling a little clearer, a little more connected to yourself, and better able to offer than same presence to your clients.
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.
My fees are £60 for individuals, £100 for couples, and £55 for counselling supervision, which I am fully qualified to provide. I offer flexible sessions on weekdays, evenings and Saturdays to fit your needs, so please reach out.
I hold a Diploma and a BA Hons Degree in Humanistic Counselling, with additional training for children, young people and couples. I have a CPCAB Level 6 certificate in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision. I am a registered member of the BACP, adhering to their ethical framework.
