COUNSELLING – MY APPROACH

Counselling provides a confidential and supportive space where you can talk freely about whatever’s troubling you—without fear of judgment or pressure. At different times in life, we all face challenges that can feel overwhelming, confusing, or simply too much to carry alone. You might be experiencing anxiety, depression, a sense of being stuck or lost, or perhaps navigating a life event such as bereavement, a relationship breakdown, or difficulties at work. Whatever brings you here, I’m here to listen and support you.

I am a qualified and experienced Humanistic Counsellor. My core approach is Person-Centred and I offer a supportive, empathic relationship to foster healing and personal growth; I also draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR. I will work creatively when appropriate—always adapting my approach to meet your unique needs and preferences.

My aim is to offer a genuine, warm, and respectful environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. I will work alongside you to gently uncover and understand the deeper issues that may be affecting your wellbeing.

I have particular experience supporting neurodivergent individuals – including those with Autism Spectrum Condition and ADHD – as well as their partners and family members. With both a personal and academic background in neurodiversity, including training from Sheffield Hallam University, I offer informed, sensitive, and practical support that reflects a deep understanding of the challenges and strengths associated with neurodivergent experiences.

My approach is holistic and integrative, meaning I welcome all aspects of your identity into the therapeutic space – including your spirituality or religious beliefs, if these are important to you. You are free to bring whatever feels most meaningful and relevant.

As a BACP Accredited Counsellor, I am committed to ongoing learning and growth through regular supervision and continued professional development. This helps ensure that my work remains ethical, safe, and responsive to your needs.

If you’re considering counselling, I’d be very happy to hear from you and answer any questions you may have about how we might work together.
