Why choose Counselling?

There are all kinds of reasons you might be considering therapy.

Maybe you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift.
Maybe life just feels harder than it used to and you’re not sure why - only that something needs to change.

 

Here are some of the issues I support clients with:

  • Anxiety and overthinking that feels impossible to switch off

  • Low mood, emotional numbness or feeling disconnected from yourself or others

  • Grief and loss - including bereavement, the end of a relationship, or major life change

  • Fertility challenges, miscarriage, IVF and reproductive trauma

  • Postnatal mental health including anxiety, depression and birth trauma

  • Low self-esteem, self-doubt and a constant inner critic

  • People-pleasing, perfectionism and difficulty setting boundaries

  • Relationship difficulties - including communication issues, feeling unseen, unresolved conflict

  • Domestic abuse (emotional, physical or financial)

  • Chronic stress, burnout or constant overwhelm

  • Past trauma that still shapes how you feel today

  • Struggling to express your needs or feel truly heard​​

 

And sometimes, it's not one clear thing.

 

You just know you’re not yourself, or you feel stuck in a way that’s hard to put into words.

Counselling offers a safe, steady space to understand what’s going on under the surface — and to make real, lasting changes in your everyday life.

If you’re wondering what the first step looks like, here’s how we get started.

If you’d like to understand more about why you feel and behave the way you do in relationships and friendships, you’re welcome to download my free guide:

First steps ...

Book a free 30-minute chat

Starting counselling can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve never done it before or you’re unsure what to expect.

This is why I offer a free, no-obligation 30-minute call on Zoom.

 

  • It’s an informal conversation where you can:

  • share what’s been going on

  • ask questions

  • get a feel for my approach

  • hear how counselling might support you

  • explore whether it feels like the right fit

 

There’s no pressure and no commitment.
Just a calm, confidential space to take that first step.

After our conversation, the next step is entirely up to you. 

What next?

If you choose to move forward, sessions are:

  • 50 minutes

  • £65 per session

  • Held weekly via Zoom

  • At a regular time that works for you

 

I offer open-ended counselling, which means we work together for as long as it feels helpful - whether you have a specific goal or simply want space to think, feel and understand yourself more deeply.

Clients come for many reasons:

  • a crisis or life transition

  • a gradual build-up of stress or overwhelm

  • long-standing patterns that feel impossible to shift

  • wanting to understand themselves or their relationships

  • wanting to feel calmer, more confident and more connected

However you arrive, I’ll meet you with warmth, curiosity and compassion.

Counselling isn’t just about talking.


It helps you unpick old patterns, make sense of your emotions, change the way you relate to others - and feel more steady, confident and grounded in everyday life.
