About Me
Nice to meet you. If you've found your way to my website then there's a good chance you're looking for someone to support you through life's challenges. That's where I come in.
I'm a qualified online Counsellor, offering professional, compassionate support to women of all ages throughout the UK. I absolutely love what I do - helping women to feel heard, build resilience, and become more confident.
I specialise in online counselling for women, offering a safe, supportive space for you to explore whatever is on your mind. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, fertility issues, or relationship difficulties, I’m here to help you build confidence, self-esteem, and a deeper connection to yourself.
Clients often describe me as warm, empathic, and relatable. I've experienced counselling myself, so I understand firsthand how powerful and transformative it can be.
As you explore my site, I hope you get a clear sense of who I am and how I work. You'll find a list of the key issues I work with, along with details of my specialist training. But above all, I treat every client as a unique individual. We are all more than just the sum of our experiences.
When I am not working with clients, I am also a Lecturer in Counselling, sharing my passion for this work with the next generation of practitioners. I'm also a School Governor, and have previously served as a Trustee for a charity providing counselling services, and as a crisis volunteer for the SHOUT helpline. These roles reflect my deep commitment to mental health, and to giving back to my community.
My Approach
There's lots of research about counselling and how helps us heal, grow and move forward in our lives. But time and time again, studies point to the same powerful conclusion. The most important factor in counselling isn't the specific method or technique. It's the relationship you build with your counsellor.
The real 'magic ingredient' is finding a counsellor you connect with. Someone you genuinely like and trust. When you feel safe, supported and understood, you're more likely to open up, reflect deeply, explore emotions, and make meaningful changes.
I am not here to advise you or tell you what to do. Instead, I may offer tools or techniques that can support you in everyday life - but only if they feel right for you.
That doesn't mean I'll sit silently and leave you feeling alone or uncomfortable. It means I'll be actively listening, engaging with you, and working collaboratively to help you understand yourself better and find your own solutions.
Therapy isn't always easy. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry. It can be uncomfortable at times, but that discomfort often signals growth. I am to create a space where you feel safe enough to be fully yourself, whatever that looks like.
And while sessions last fifty minutes, I don't believe that therapy begins and ends here. Our conversations act as a springboard. Sessions offer new ways of thinking, moments of reflection, and opportunities to notice and shift patterns in everyday life. Our work together is about more than just talking. It's about creating real, lasting change.
In terms of training, I am a fully qualified BACP registered integrative Counsellor, offering Attachment-based therapy, with a person-centred foundation. What does that mean in practice? My training includes a variety of psychological theories and therapeutic models. This allows me to tailor our work to suit your individual needs, because a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work in therapy.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together at your pace, in a way that suits you.
