Who Do I Help?

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons, it is not just a space for people with mental health problems, but instead an opportunity to better understand yourself, to improve coping skills, and to make sense of your life experiences. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationships or any of the other challenges that make up our messy human lives, then you’re in the right place.

How Do I Help?

I trained as an Integrative Humanistic Counsellor which means that I draw on a breadth of knowledge which puts you at the centre of the therapeutic work rather than diagnosing or giving you advice. I believe that you are the expert on yourself and that every human being has the capacity to grow and ability to heal. I will endeavour to ensure that you feel held and supported during our sessions, and that we are working at your pace whilst gently challenging you to keep investigating your feelings and experience.

Why Do I Help?

No one is immune from the pain and difficulties of life and I, like all of us, have had my fair share. I have always been a sensitive person, keen to listen and understand others better. I am passionate about mental health and seeing immense suffering in the world has left me wanting to do what I can to support people in getting through it. I aim to offer a safe, supportive space in which we can explore the difficulties you are facing together, to make some sense out of your experience, and help you to find the resources within to cope with life when it becomes overwhelming.

“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”
