I offer integrative counselling that combines various therapeutic approaches to provide a holistic, personalised experience tailored to your unique needs. Whether through traditional talk therapy or creative methods such as sand-play, Lego, drawing, or painting, we work together to facilitate discovery and find meaningful solutions. Walking and talking sessions are also available, adding variety and comfort to your therapeutic journey.

I support adults and children aged 5 and above, with extensive experience in working with children with special educational needs (SEN). Art therapy can be particularly valuable when words are difficult to find or express. Additionally, I also offer literacy support to children and adults, giving tailored support to enhance literacy skills alongside enhancing emotional wellbeing.

Many individuals, regardless of age, find it challenging to express emotions or explain what they are going through. I have experience supporting people with a broad range of issues, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, OCD, self-harm, anxiety, trauma, bereavement, adverse childhood experiences, cancer, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, hyperventilation, childhood bullying, chronic illness, burnout, dementia, depression, eating disorders, discrimination, disabilities, emotional abuse, health anxiety, hoarding, low self-esteem, menopause, narcissistic abuse, panic attacks, perfectionism, stress, loneliness, blended family dynamics, anger management, and more. I also provide support to those who are fostered or adopted.

Appointments are available both online and in person, offering flexible access to therapy.

If you are struggling with any of these issues, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to support and guide you towards improved mental health and well-being. Together, we can explore strategies to enhance self-awareness, build resilience, and cultivate a greater sense of self-acceptance and happiness.
