I’m an integrative counsellor, and a member of the BACP, committed to helping people build confidence and clarity in their lives.

My approach is trauma-informed and relational. This means working together to get to the heart of what’s going on through honest conversation, thoughtful questions, and a genuine effort to understand the world from your perspective.

For me, it comes down to this: building real understanding and a meaningful connection with a focus on safety and stabilisation where you can make sense of what has brought you to counselling, at your own pace.

I’ve always been curious about people—how we think, feel, and behave. I’m not afraid of difficult conversations or asking the kinds of questions that get to the real reasons behind why we are the way we are.

I’m particularly interested in relationships- where they rupture—and how they can be repaired. I care about finding common ground, bridging gaps, and moving away from “othering” people and towards understanding them. Even in moments of conflict or disconnection, we often have more in common than we might think.

Over time, I’ve come to understand that we often learn the most about ourselves through our relationships with others. The way we relate to each other can reveal where our personal boundaries lie and what may need attention. I have found that there is often a link between the quality of our relationships and resolving unfinished business, and a meaningful, peaceful life.

My experience extends to working with military and emergency services personnel who are dealing with trauma, relationships, and transitional issues. I have also worked with parents and carers of children with serious illness or complex needs.

I can help with:

• Grief -Rebuilding trust in yourself and your identity and rewriting the script that may have shaped the way you see yourself
• Fear of failure and reshaping negative automatic self-talk
• Anxiety, hypervigilance and panic
• Boundaries, people-pleasing, fear of conflict, difficulty saying no
• Loss of confidence and self-worth
• Relationship patterns, coercive control, manipulation, intimidation, trauma bonding, confusion, self-doubt and shame

How we might work:

• Weekly or fortnightly sessions (50 minutes)
  in a steady, non-judgemental space to make sense of what happened and what you want next.
