Who am I?

About Me

You’re probably the kind of person who gets things done. You care deeply, work hard, and keep everything ticking along. But somewhere along the way, you started to notice that your relationships don’t always feel how you want them to. You’re tired of second-guessing yourself, tired of being the one who smooths things over, and ready to figure out why this keeps happening.

That’s where therapy comes in.

I’m a counsellor who believes in being real. No airy-fairy language, no analysing you from a distance. Just two people talking, figuring things out together. I’m friendly, relaxed, and kind, but I’ll also be honest with you when something needs to be named. I care deeply about helping you understand yourself better and start making choices that actually feel right for you.

My route into counselling wasn’t through theory alone. I grew up in a messy, unpredictable home where I learned early on to keep the peace. It took me a long time to understand how those experiences shaped the way I showed up in relationships and life. When I finally did my own therapy (and not for the first time), it was a turning point. It gave me space to stop holding everything together and start feeling like myself again.

That experience is one of the reasons why I do what I do now. I retrained as a counsellor because I wanted to offer other people the kind of support I found so powerful: honest, down-to-earth, and human.

Since then, I’ve spent thousands of hours in private practice, working with people who want to feel calmer, more confident, and more connected. Many tell me that through therapy they’ve learned to trust themselves again, to stop people-pleasing, and to build relationships that actually feel good to be in.

I’m fully qualified and accredited with the NCPS, and while my training matters, what usually makes the difference is the relationship we build together. My clients often say they feel safe, understood, and seen for who they really are.

 

If that sounds like something you’re looking for, we can start with a free introductory call. It’s a chance to see how it feels to talk and whether I’m the right person for you.

Specialist Areas

I work integratively, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Everyone’s story is different, so the way we work together will be shaped around what you need most.

At the heart of what I do is a person-centred approach. That means you lead the way. I’m not here to tell you what to do or how to feel. Instead, I offer a space where you can make sense of things, at your own pace, with someone alongside you who gets it.

Sometimes therapy is about reflection and understanding. Other times, it’s about taking small, practical steps forward. When it feels right, I’ll bring in ideas from CBT or solution-focused work to help you move towards where you want to be. We might also explore inner child work, polyvagal theory, or transactional analysis, especially if you’re noticing old patterns showing up in your relationships or how you see yourself.

Working this way keeps things flexible and personal. It helps us meet you where you are, and focus on what you feel ready for.

I often support people who are working through:

 

  • Depression and anxiety

  • People-pleasing and boundary setting

  • Feeling stuck or unsure where to start

  • Family issues and childhood trauma

  • Domestic abuse and narcissistic relationships

  • Attachment and relationship difficulties

  • Trust and communication worries

  • Neurodivergence and emotional regulation
