I offer sessions on weekday mornings, afternoons and evenings.

I'm a person-centred counsellor offering online video and phone sessions to young adults and adults (18+) who are based in the UK.

There's no denying it - being human really can be tough. Today, even with 24/7 ‘expert’ advice in our pockets, we can still feel lost and alone in life's struggles.

Life can be overwhelming, confusing, stressful and painful - you don't have to face these experiences alone. I can be alongside you, in a safe space, as we uncover your way through the challenges of being human.

As a person-centred counsellor, I’ve provided a supportive, therapeutic space for adults and young adults facing issues around anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, relationships, bereavement, spirituality, stress, workplace and education pressures, low self-esteem and more. I also feel I have a strong awareness of issues surrounding social media and the climate and nature crisis.

When we go to family, friends, and peers we can worry about what they think of us or feel inclined to take advice we’re not sure about. By reconnecting with yourself in our sessions, I believe you can begin to take your own advice, explore your options and take steps towards feeling realigned with who you are.

To learn more about how I could help, please get in touch to arrange a free 30-minute no-obligation consultation session. In this, we can say hello and explore what sessions together could look like. The first step in seeking help can often be the hardest and you’re already part of the way.

In our sessions, you can trust me to listen to you, without judgement, and be there alongside you wherever you feel you need to go.

In this dedicated, regular time where it feels safe to be 'you', you may begin to relate to your experiences in new ways and see ways forward that you couldn't see before. There's no 'wrong answer' in our sessions - only what feels right for you.

As a young adult, I experienced my own mental health issues and sought help through talking therapy which allowed me to move through these struggles. It was these personal experiences that then inspired me to train in therapeutic counselling.

During my professional training, I volunteered at two community counselling agencies, offering online video, phone and face to face sessions with adult and young adult clients. I also volunteered at the Samaritans helpline for three years, providing emotional listening support to people in distress by telephone, email, text and face to face.

If my profile has connected with you, please get in touch to arrange a free 30-minute no-obligation session so we can explore whether counselling with me feels like the right next step for you.

For our sessions, you would need a comfortable and private space with a good WiFi connection, where you won't be disturbed.
