Therapeutic Counselling which meets you at your point of need.
Where healing takes root in the stillness of safe places
Where to begin?
Right here, where you are now.
You might know what you want to talk about — or you might not. You may only sense that something isn't right.
That’s enough. That’s a beginning.
Take a moment to check in with yourself:
- What is your heart saying?
- What is your mind thinking?
- What is your body experiencing?
Whether your thoughts are clear or tangled, whether your feelings are loud or hidden, you’re allowed to start from exactly where you are.
It’s natural to feel daunted. Putting thoughts and feelings into words — especially the ones you’ve hidden from others, or even from yourself — can feel overwhelming. Sometimes, it may seem like even finding the words is beyond reach.
But here's something important:
You’ve already started.
By considering counselling, by taking this step — even just reading this — you’re moving towards change.
Towards understanding. Towards healing.
We’ll go at your pace. I’ll walk alongside you, offering support when you need it. I won’t rush you. You won’t be alone as you navigate this path, however uncertain or difficult it may feel.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to begin — and you have.

To name just a few.
We are shaped by the experiences we’ve had—both big and small. How we respond to these experiences is deeply personal, influenced by many factors: our temperament, cultural background, upbringing, physical and mental health, and more.
Person-Centred Therapeutic Counselling offers a safe, supportive space to explore what’s going on for you—at your pace, in your own way. It recognises that you are the expert in your own life and centres on your unique experience.
You might come to counselling to explore:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Self-worth
- Body image
- Low self-esteem
These challenges can affect many aspects of life, including:
- Relationships
- Work and career
- Physical and mental wellbeing
Sometimes, we struggle to adjust when life changes unexpectedly or even when changes are planned but still overwhelming.
You may be finding it difficult to navigate:
- Moving house
- The death of a loved one
- Becoming a parent
- Children leaving home
- Changing jobs or careers
- The end of a relationship
- A medical diagnosis
- A recent neurodivergent diagnosis
Nature is a guiding force in my practice. Being outdoors brings clarity, calm, and connection — and I often incorporate this into my work, using natural spaces to support reflection and healing.
My work is shaped by personal and professional experience, especially in areas I care deeply about — menopause and perimenopause, grief and loss, and the lives of professional musicians. I know how powerful counselling can be, and I’m committed to offering that support to others.
Therapeutic counselling can help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings, gain clarity, and develop greater resilience.
It’s not about fixing you, it’s about walking alongside you as you explore, heal, and grow.
