My aim is to help my clients live more fulfilling and positive lives. I offer a safe space where they can share their problems and receive support. Clients are met with warmth, acceptance and positivity, and their challenges are listened to and properly understood. I offer both individual and couples counselling. With individual clients, we will work to understand the origins of current challenges – like anxiety, negative thinking and depression – and develop better coping mechanisms. With relationship counselling, I help the couple to reconnect and build a stronger, healthier and sustainable relationship.

I’m an integrative counsellor, which means I tailor my approach according to my client’s individual needs. I acknowledge that early experiences can shape the way people relate to themselves and others in adulthood. The relationship between counsellor and client offers the opportunity to explore these dynamics and provides a vehicle for growth and change.

I also work existentially and encourage my clients to find new meaning and purpose. I’ve learned that everyone has the potential to live better lives and counselling can play an important part in that. The opportunity is to work together to grow the self-awareness, resilience and confidence that enables someone to live differently and more positively.

I’m a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Integrative Counselling. I also have a BA Hons degree from Oxford University.
