From personal struggle to professional support
I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, and the endless expectations life throws at us.
In my twenties, I struggled with depression, feeling like I wasn’t achieving enough or living up to certain standards.
In my thirties, anxiety took hold, making me feel as though time was slipping away and I wasn’t where I ‘should’ be.
Therapy helped me untangle these thoughts and challenge my unhelpful beliefs. It also gave me a different perspective and helped me to notice things I hadn’t seen before. It helped me to move out of my 9-5 job and become a counsellor myself, something I am passionate about.
When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll often find me running or walking my dog, Maddie.
Being outdoors is something I personally enjoy, and I never regret a walk! Which is why I also offer outdoor counselling sessions for those who like to be out and about.
My approach to therapy
I’m an integrative counsellor, which means I tailor therapy to you, drawing from a range of approaches to best support your needs.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, self-esteem, or life transitions, counselling is a place where you can explore your feelings without judgment.
Together, we’ll work to help you:
Understand and manage anxiety
Build self-confidence and self-worth
Navigate difficult emotions and life changes
Challenge unhelpful thought patterns
Create a life that feels more aligned with who you are
Contacting a counsellor for support can feel daunting, but I hope to make it as easy and comfortable for you as I can.
If my approach resonates with you, it would be great to hear from you.
