"creating a space where you are heard, seen, and empowered"
my services and me
My Services
I offer compassionate, personalised therapy in a supportive and confidential environment. Together, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, creating an open and safe space to understand and navigate your experiences. My approach is warm and empathic, grounded in trust and acceptance, with a focus on empowering you to achieve meaningful change and lasting emotional well-being.
I provide individual online therapy to adults via Zoom, making it convenient to access professional support from the comfort of your own home. Sessions can be scheduled on a short-term or long-term basis, tailored to your individual needs. Each session lasts 50-minutes and is typically scheduled for the same day and time each week, though we can discuss flexibility during our initial assessment.
During this initial assessment, we will explore your goals and discuss how we can work together towards positive change.
I specialise in grief and loss, trauma, anger, and self-esteem issues. Additionally, I can support you with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, historical issues, and life changes and pressures.
Together, we will explore what's going on for you, moving at a pace that feels right for you.
My aim is to empower you to move forward and discover the person you want to be.

What can I expect from therapy?
Before you arrived here, you may have researched what therapy entails and noticed that the terms “counselling” and “therapy” are often used interchangeably. For clarity and consistency, I refer to “therapy” throughout this website.
Key points to consider:
A Safe Space for Exploration:
Therapy provides a confidential environment where you can feel safe to discuss what's concerning you. It's a space dedicated to understanding your experiences and feelings.
The Importance of the Therapist-Client Relationship:
The strength of your relationship with your therapist is central to meaningful change and lasting emotional well-being. It should be built on trust, where you can feel seen, heard, and truly understood. This relationship is characterised by empathy, compassion, and a non-judgemental approach.
Therapy Can Be Challenging:
I want to be honest about what therapy involves. It can sometimes be frustrating, painful, or surprising. While you may have specific goals, unexpected emotions or issues may surface. Within a trusting relationship, your therapist may challenge you to help you explore deeper layers of yourself to gain a clearer understanding and appreciation. Remember, you will always have the choice to pursue, pause, or avoid discussing any topic.
Finding the Right Therapist:
Not every therapist will be the perfect fit - and that's okay. The "therapeutic alliance" - the trust and connection between you and your therapist - is vital to the healing process. If you find it difficult to connect, I encourage you to share your feelings openly. Honesty can strengthen your relationship and enhance your progress. When you experience a genuine bond with your therapist, you're more likely to engage, share vulnerably, and pursue meaningful change. Ultimately, finding a therapist who truly meets your needs is essential for effective therapy - and I want you to work with someone who feels right for you, even if that's not me.
Anger Is Natural:
Anger is a normal, valid emotion that signals when something needs attention. Suppressing or avoiding anger can lead to unresolved issues and increased stress. Exploring anger can reveal valuable insights about our boundaries, values, and unmet needs. By understanding and processing this emotion, you can transform it into a constructive force that promotes personal growth, better communication, and healthier relationships.
If you're feeling unsure about therapy or ready to explore how it can support you towards greater understanding and well-being, I invite you to get in touch for a free 15-minute consultation. This is an opportunity to see if we're a good fit. Seeking help is a courageous step, and you don't have to face your challenges alone. Together, we can create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.
