I offer online and face to face counselling for people who want to better understand themselves, explore their inner world, and create meaningful change in their lives.

My approach is warm, reflective, and collaborative. At the heart of my work is a person-centred foundation. Because of this, I aim to provide a non-judgmental space where you can think openly, feel heard, and explore your experiences at your own pace.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including Jungian therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis, creative therapy approaches, and solution-focused thinking. This allows our work together to remain flexible and responsive to your individual needs.

However, I see therapy as a shared process rather than an advice-led one. I work best with clients who are open to curiosity, reflection, and self-exploration. Together, we can explore patterns, deepen understanding, and support your sense of agency and direction.

  • PMDD may influence part of your month, but it doesn't define who you are.

You are not "too much." You are not "too sensitive." You are not failing.

You are navigating a condition that can profoundly affect your emotions, thoughts and relationships, and you deserve support that recognises the whole person, not just the symptoms.

As both a counsellor and someone who lives with PMDD, I know there is hope beyond simply surviving each cycle.

Counselling can't take PMDD away, but it can help you understand yourself with greater compassion, strengthen your relationships, rebuild trust in yourself, and create a life that feels bigger than your diagnosis.

My aim isn't to help you become someone different, it's to help you reconnect with the person you've always been beneath the weight of PMDD.

Because you are so much more than the hardest days of your cycle. πŸ’›

  • Today I signed the contract for my new counselling office.

After two years away from face-to-face counselling, I've spent a lot of time reflecting on how I want to practice and what feels right for me at this stage of my journey.

As counsellors, we're often encouraging our clients to listen to themselves, notice what feels aligned, and make choices that honour their needs and values. I think it's just as important that we do the same for ourselves.

There are so many ways to work as a counsellor, and no single approach is right for everyone. Whether you work online, face-to-face, outdoors, or a combination of these, finding a space that feels comfortable, authentic, and supportive of your way of working matters.

This new office isn't just a room. It's a space that feels aligned with who I am as a practitioner and the kind of therapeutic relationships I want to offer. I'm looking forward to welcoming clients into it soon.

Sometimes the right next step isn't about doing what everyone else is doing. It's about listening carefully to yourself and trusting what feels right for you.

  • Tonight's Full Moon is in Sagittarius, a sign often associated with truth, growth, and looking beyond what feels familiar.

Whether or not you follow astrology, there can be something powerful about pausing to notice where you are in your life. 

πŸŒ• Are you moving towards what feels meaningful? 
πŸŒ• Are you honouring the parts of yourself that need both adventure and security? 
πŸŒ• Are you allowing yourself to grow beyond old expectations?

As counsellors and supervisors, we often support others through periods of change, uncertainty, and self-discovery. Yet we are not separate from those experiences ourselves. We, too, are continually evolving, questioning, learning, and finding our way.

Perhaps tonight's moon is a reminder that growth doesn't always require a dramatic leap. Sometimes it begins with simply recognising that we have changed, and giving ourselves permission to move in a direction that feels more aligned with who we are now.

  • There’s something important about noticing the small moments that make us pause.

A flower in the sun. A bee moving gently from petal to petal. A feeling of warmth on your skin.

Our minds are often trained to scan for stress, danger, pressure and what still needs doing. But intentionally noticing moments of beauty, calm or joy can help anchor us back into the present.

Not every day will feel light or easy. But carrying small moments of goodness with us through the day can soften things, even slightly 🌸🐝

I believe supervision should feel collaborative, reflective, and deeply human.

A space where you can bring uncertainty, curiosity, challenge, and growth, without needing to have everything figured out.

My approach is grounded in shared inquiry, lived experience, existential thinking, and supporting your developing therapeutic identity.
