A little about me

I offer integrative counselling in a relaxed, conversational way, where you can talk through your experiences at your own pace and feel truly listened to. I believe that the right support starts with a genuine connection, which is why my focus is always on providing a space where you feel safe, comfortable, and without judgement.

My background is in research, where I earned my PhD

exploring how to improve the assessment of health conditions and understanding human stories.  Although this was not directly mental health related, today I bring that same depth of listening and understanding to my integrative counselling practice, using tools tailored specifically to you.

Finding a path forward

If you feel ready to take a first step, I invite you to find a time that suits you in my secure diary. Whether you are looking for a free 15-minute hello or are ready to begin our counselling work together, you are most welcome here.

 

If technology isn't for you, or you’d just prefer a more personal touch, please feel free to reach out to me directly and I will be happy to help you find a slot.
