I am an Integrative Counsellor who works primarily in a person-centred way with bucketloads of empathy, compassion and acceptance. I am here to listen to you in a non-judgemental, honest and respectful space whilst providing education and practical ideas for support according to client choice. I currently offer one-to-one sessions online and face-to-face in Washington, Durham on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

We don’t need to be falling apart to look for a supportive space or a listening ear. I believe that, as human beings, we all want to live purposeful and fulfilling lives and that this is unique to each individual. My passion is being able to hear and connect with you to build an open, compassionate and hopeful relationship. A relationship where it feels safe to feel whatever comes up, tackle big questions or take small practical steps towards peace and confidence. I strive to create a space in which the range and diversity of human experience and identity is appreciated, accommodated and celebrated.

Whatever you are struggling with, I have experience in anxiety, depression, work-related stress, trauma, burnout, grief and bereavement or we can explore the bigger questions about how to live with and embrace joy and self-compassion. Take that first step by booking a free consultation phone call or send me an email to get a sense of how I work and what I may be able to offer you. 

My face-to-face sessions happen at the charity, Melanoma-Me, in Washington, Durham. The space is friendly yet discrete with calm and comfortable spaces for counselling. There is free parking at the front of the building, a discrete entrance and free water, tea and coffee as well as a warm greeting. I am happy to adapt the environment to suit your preferences including changing lighting, privacy and heating arrangements.

At the beginning of the first session we will go through the contract to ensure we both are in agreement about how we will work together before you have a chance to share what feels important and start the journey of counselling.
