Services
I’ve been working as a counsellor since 2016 and have experience working with a wide variety of people of all ages, genders and sexualities. Below are a few of the specialist areas that I have a particular interest in, but I often work with people facing other, or indeed multiple, challenges in life. If you’re interested in working with me, then please contact me.
Bereavement and loss
There is no one right way to experience grief or loss, and through my work with the national bereavement charity Cruse Bereavement Care, I have learnt that supportive care, that goes at your pace and accepts you for where you are, is imperative to ease suffering. Whatever stage you are in your journey, whether you are anticipating a loss or grieving from a bereavement several years passed, I would be honoured to support you. I am passionate about providing caring, supportive and creative counselling for loss.
Life transitions and identity
When things change in your life it can be disorienting and distressing, and all kinds of feelings and thoughts can occur. Whether you’re starting something big like University or a new career and wondering how to make your new life work, ending your time at work due to retirement or illness, or you’re ending a long term relationship, it’s very common to feel angry, upset or depressed even when the outlook is ‘good’. This can be a confusing and isolating experience, but sharing it in a confidential and supportive environment can give you the breathing space to process your feelings, explore your sense of identity and develop a firmer of sense of where you are and what you want.
Depression and anxiety
Whether you’ve had a diagnosis of depression or anxiety from a medical professional, are in a familiar emotional state, or you find yourself experiencing symptoms for the first time, talking therapy can be beneficial. The causes of are varied and above all specific to the person experiencing it. Exploring your situation with non-judgemental support can help you understand what is happening, and being able to experience the warmth and acceptance of the therapeutic relationship can ease distress and help make sense of your experience.

Neurodiversity, ADHD and Autism
Whether you had a childhood diagnosis, or are just starting to understand your experience of the world, I am experienced working with a wide range of identities and diagnoses. Every neurodiverse person is different, and everyone has unique challenges to navigate, but regular, consistent and trustworthy therapy can help you make your own place in the world.
