I am a qualified counsellor based in the UK with three years of experience supporting people through trauma, domestic abuse (including narcissistic abuse), bereavement, grief, and loss. I also help clients struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, as well as those going through major life changes or exploring faith and spirituality.

My interest in counselling comes from my own experiences and the understanding that healing isn’t always straightforward. I know how difficult it can be to feel unheard, misunderstood, or stuck in painful patterns. That’s why I focus on creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly.

I use an integrative approach, which means I blend different therapy methods depending on your needs. Some people benefit from exploring their past and how it shapes their present, while others prefer to focus on practical ways to manage emotions and move forward. I use different elements from approaches like psychodynamic work, attachment theory, CBT techniques, somatic work, and creative therapies—but always in a way that makes sense for you. There’s no set formula, and we’ll work together to find what helps you best.

I know reaching out for help isn’t easy, but you don’t have to go through this alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what you need, I’m here to listen, support, and help you find clarity and a way forward at a pace that feels right for you.
