Empowering growth and healing hearts
How can therapeutic counselling help you?
Whether you’ve been feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or having difficulty with relationships, Integrative Therapeutic Counselling can provide a confidential, non-judgmental and caring space for you to explore your difficult feelings, your present situation, reflecting on the past, or processing fears you may have about the future. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, disordered eating or work-related stress then I can help you.
Together we’ll navigate your journey and aim to get to the root of what you’ve been struggling with. I’ll help you to identify healthy coping skills which work for you and support you in bolstering your emotional resilience to deal with the obstacles life inevitably deals to all of us.

I believe everyone has the answers within themselves to resolve their difficulties, but sometimes we need to process things out loud with someone we can trust to find the answers. As an experienced Integrative Relational Therapeutic Counsellor that is how I can help you. The focus will be on the reparative working relationship we will develop throughout our work together. I will be a compassionate witness to the journey you walk through our counselling sessions. You take the lead and I will be right there with you.
“When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled… or when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another” - Carl Rogers
