Many of us can feel trapped by thoughts or past conditioning —there's so much more to you than that. I want my clients to see the potential I see in them. You are more resilient, capable, and worthy than you realise. I use a person centred approach combined with Neuro Linguistic Programming, a powerful, yet gentle agent for change whilst placing you at the centre of your therapeutic journey. Much of my work as a counsellor is informed by my own experience, together we can begin to discover what matters to you most and activate a growing sense of worth.

Person centred counselling with NLP is like having a conversation where you feel fully listened to and valued. We work together to uncover what matters most to you. NLP adds simple tools that help shift unhelpful thoughts or patterns, helping you feel more like the captain of your ship.

I’ve been there—I know the value of having a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood without judgment. My approach is warm, real, and supportive, combining deep empathy with tools that help shift unhelpful patterns. Together, we’ll create a safe space for you to heal, grow, and find your own path forward. It’s about you, on your terms. 

I offer on line and face to face session from my wellbeing hub nestled in The Orchard, a beautiful community garden with free parking and great accessibility. 

There is a café and toilets next door that offers a good choice of healthy and delicious food.

I sometimes bring my sausage dog with me, who usually spends the time snoring in her bed, but would check that you'd be comfortable with this first.

I offer an initial free call, usually around 30 minutes or so where we can talk about about why you are looking for therapy, your expectation and needs. This will enable me to understand the challenges and difficulties that have led you to look for help. 

If you feel we are the right fit we would book a session and I will send you my Therapy Agreement, so that you can see how I work.
