I'm a fully qualified Person-Centred Counsellor - a BACP Registered Member & Member of the BACP Coaching Division.

I've always been someone who cares about people and wants to help when I can. Throughout my life, both through work and in my personal life, I've naturally found myself in caring and supportive roles. Those experiences have taught me a lot about people, how different everyone's circumstances can be, and how important it is to have someone who genuinely listens.

I don't believe that people need fixing. We all have times when life feels difficult, and sometimes we just need a safe place to talk things through with someone who will listen without judging us.

That's what I want my Counselling space to be.

I want you to feel comfortable being yourself when you come to see me. I'm warm, friendly and down-to-earth, and I know that walking into a counselling room for the first time can feel a little daunting. You don't need to know exactly what you're going to say, and you don't need to have everything worked out beforehand.

I believe that good counselling is about working together.

You know yourself and your life better than anyone else, so I won't tell you what you should do or try to give you all the answers. Instead, I'll listen, ask questions when it feels helpful and support you to explore what's going on for you.

I believe that feeling heard, understood and accepted can be really important in itself.

My hope is that our sessions feel like a space where you can be honest, where you don't have to put on a brave face, and where you can take some time to think about what you need.

I'm committed to supporting you in a genuine and caring way, wherever you are in your life.

You don't have to have everything figured out before you come. Just come as you are, and we'll take it from there.

A safe space to understand, explore and move forward
