“The curious paradox is
that when I accept myself
just as I am, then I can change.”
Carl R. Rogers
What Brings You Here ... ?
Life can feel noisy and overwhelming — like too many thoughts competing for your attention at once, leaving you anxious, restless, or exhausted. Or sometimes it’s the opposite: silence, emptiness, feeling flat and disconnected.
Often, this shows up after a difficult life event, or when old wounds resurface and mix with present struggles, creating confusion and emotional chaos.
The most common issues I work with include:
- Anxiety and constant overthinking
- Relationship challenges
- Low self-esteem and self-worth
- Stress and burnout
- Loss and bereavement
If any of this resonates with you, you don’t have to go through it alone. Counselling offers a safe, supportive space to untangle what’s going on, understand yourself more deeply, and begin finding clarity and direction.
I specialise in helping clients find relief from relentless, confusing thoughts and feelings — no matter how big or small they may seem. Together, we can quieten the inner noise, make sense of the different “parts” of you, and explore what’s driving the anxiety, low mood, anger, or overwhelm you might be carrying.
Counselling with me is about more than just talking. It’s about:
- Developing clearer boundaries
- Building healthier relationships with yourself and others
- Reducing anxiety and low mood
- Reconnecting with confidence and social connection
- Feeling more grounded and focused in daily life
I know reaching out for therapy can feel daunting. That’s why I offer a free 20-minute call, so we can gently explore whether I’m the right fit for you.
My clients describe me as authentic, down-to-earth, open, warm, and often funny — someone who helps them feel at ease while also guiding the process with care and honesty. I believe successful therapy isn’t about perfection or formality, but about real human connection and authenticity.

Experience
With both professional and personal experience of mental health and life challenges, I bring a wealth of knowledge and insight to my counselling practice. Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked within the NHS, education, local authorities, and the charitable sector in a range of roles. My background includes academic research at both degree and master’s level in psychology, lecturing at the University of Hertfordshire, and working as a Trauma and Addiction Recovery counsellor.
This broad experience allows me to support people from many different walks of life, always with compassion and curiosity.
I specialise in working with those who feel stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. Together, we’ll focus not only on the thoughts and emotions that feel relentless, but also on the physical sensations that accompany panic and distress. Through therapy, you can develop tools to create a greater sense of safety, control, and calm. From there, we can gently explore the deeper reasons behind your struggles, helping you to worry less, feel safer, and reconnect with life in a more meaningful way.
My Approach
I’m a person-centred, integrative counsellor and clinical supervisor, with a mindfulness-based approach to mental health and wellbeing. Being integrative means I draw from a variety of theories and models, tailoring therapy to the unique needs of each client.
My style combines traditional counselling with creative and contemporary approaches. I place a strong focus on the mind–body connection, exploring how emotions can affect the body — from energy and immunity to tension, pain, and overall wellbeing.
Often, I guide clients to notice their bodily responses to situations and feelings. This somatic approach helps deepen self-understanding, making space for greater awareness, regulation, and healing.
